Aperture Library folder

Can I safely delete the "aperture library" folder if it has been migrated? It is only 180K in size according to "get Info"

If you are seeing now all your Aperture photos in Photos for Mac and can open them to view them enlarged, you can delete the Aperture library. Photos does not need it.

180k does not seem to be a large library. How many photos did you have in Aperture?

I can do all that in Photos so I will delete the folder

Regarding folder size, I am not sure how many I had in aperture, but I have over 5000 in Photos.

Maybe when the migration happens the folder is cleaned out leaving only some basic info retained.

Thanks for your speedy reply
