Q: Cannot completely erase Photos app library contents.
Hello! I have need to delete ALL the photos I ever put to Photos app library @ my iMac.
I deleted the file *.photoslibrary from the "Puctures" folder and Photos app created file anew - empty. But in no time Photos app downloaded form somewhere the contents I have just deleted!!! It downloaded from somewhere photo contents I have just erased! I cannot figure out how to turn it off!
The iCloud photo library is turned OFF on all my devices.
I would blame Photostream, but in 2 hours I had 3400 photos restored, while photostream contains only 1000!
Furthermore, 30 days have already passed and no photos left in online iCloud Photo Library storage. (seeattach)
Where the heck Photos app dowloads completely erased photos from?!
iMac with Retina 5K display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.4), 2014
