I moved my fcp library to a different drive, and trashed the old one.
Emptied trash, but volume still has all its space used.
How can this be?
Using APFS on SSD external drive.
MacBook Pro with Touch Bar
Am assuming that you are looking at the numbers in the bottom of the Finder window. My understanding, from my own experience with a similar issue, is that the drive space is free, it just does not look that way due to something called purgeable space. As soon as you try to load something onto the drive the system will wipe the purgeable space and you will have the free space back.

The purgeable space might be large. Try Get Info on the drive in the Finder. Also try Disk Utility. What do you see there?
One possible cause is that the Generated Render files were sent to somewhere outside of the Library bundle but still on the SSD.

Moved 400GB fcp bundle file to trash, emptied trash, but space not freed. What gives?
