Q: iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary is very large
I just did an OmniDiskSweeper sweep and found that my iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary was 65 GB and the new Photo Library was taking up an additional 65 GB of space. I have been told that that file should be very small. What's going on here? Can I get rid of it?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

Photos for Mac
see Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
Your photos exist only once and have hard links to each library so each library's size includes them so their is little additional disk being used
