Q: Re-Migrate to Photos

I recently migrated my iPhoto library to Photos.  When I opened up Photos I discovered that all the 2000+  photos in my iPhoto Trash file had also come over. to Photos and were now interspersed with the 30,000 I want to keep.  Can I delete the Photos Library, empty the trash in iPhoto, and reimport the iPhoto library?  I have not added anything to iPhoto or Photos in the meantime.  If so, how do I delete the Photos Library without damaging the iPhoto Library?

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
