The instruction says it can be moved, which I did, and you can drag the old one to the trash.
I dragged it to the trash, and it has been reappearing every five minutes, for the past 6 months.
how do you delete it?!?!?
i just solved it myself, last night
what the instruction doesn’t tell you, is after dragging the photos library into the recycle bin, you have to show package contents, then individually delete the folders in the package.
once that is done, so far, it has not returned to my recycle bin, which is what it has been doing, several times a day, every day

How do you delete the old photos library? I have been deleting the same photos library from the trash for SIX MONTHS.
