photoslibrary

Using Finder, I have 2 files with the same suffix of .photoslibrary, one is named "Photos Library" and the other "Photo Library". Size of Photos Library is 473 Bytes and Photo Library is 112 GB. They seem to access the same photos. Can I safely delete Photos Library?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 11.2

The larger library is probably holding more photos than the smaller one.


Check, which library Photos is currently using. You can see this, when you are opening Photos and look at the Photos > Preferences > General. At the to of the panel is the path to the current library and a button "Show in Finder". Click this button to find your current library.
