I had a my Photos library working just fine. Today I saved a new library that was on a old hard drive and it seemed to have erased my library. I cannot find it. Where is it stored? What extension does the new Photos use?
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 11.6
Hi
Where and how did you save the library off the old hard drive? Is it possible you saved it to the pictures folder, and overwrote your original library? In this case you will need to recover it from backup.
Alternatively - is it just that your photos app is now opening that recovered library - so you are not seeing your old photos and not those in your current library. If so:

Here is how to both move a Photos library, and how to select a different library:
…Move your Photos library to save space on your Mac - Apple Support
If you don’t have Time Machine or other backups going, go get that going now.
