Q: Can I wipe Photos clean and migrate my libraries over again?

Hi.  My old iPhotos library consisted of approx 5 worthless pictures.  Aperture was my main library with all my picture collections.  Somehow during migration of each library, the pictures split up between both libraries.  I think I changed the iCloud setting in the middle of migration.  I want all my Aperture photos to be my new system library.  Is it possible to clear the Photos app and migrate all over again?  Thanks.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    Launch Photos with the Option key held down, click on Other Library if needed, pick the desired one, click here, and follow the instructions.

    Thank you.  I did try this, but it only shows my already migrated libraries (which are mixed up).  The original Aperture and iPhoto libraries are unavailable (unhighlighted to select).

     

    When I go to Aperture and iPhoto libraries under Photos, it won't allow me to select them because they are "already migrated."
