Q: Recently upgraded to 10.0.3 (Photos). Immediately started receiving shortage on disk space messages. Finder shows 110GB in iPhoto Library, 117GB Photos Library. What can I delete?
My wife recently upgraded her MBA to 10.10.3 (Photos). She can't remember if there were questions about duplicating/deleting photo files in the transition to Photos.
She immediately started receiving shortage on disk space messages. Finder shows 110GB in iPhoto Library, 117GB Photos Library which is 90% of my disk space.
Apple website says Photos should have only taken pointers to original photos, thus not increasing disk space.
When I double-click on the iPhotos Library, it brings up iPhoto and shows 21,118 photos at 74GB.
When I double-click on the Photos Library, it brings up 19,216 photos with no indication of space.
In any case, what can I safely delete to get her drive back in order?
TIA
OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
