iPhoto and Photos libraries

I have migrated from iPhoto to Photos in the last Os update on my MBP. Now I have 2 Libraries in my Pictures folder, iPhoto and Photos libraries. The libraries are huge and take a lot of SSD storage. Is it safe to delete the iPhoto library? Is it wise?

Thanks

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2013), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

I recommend against it: Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support.

Keep the iPhoto library around for a couple of weeks until you're entirely satisfied that Photos will do the job for you. Photos is missing many of iPhotos features which might make it a no go for you.


If you have iPhoto 9.6.1 you'll be able to open your iPhoto library and use it with 10.10.3.You can get it from the App Store if necessary.
