If they are inside your Photos Library (my library is >100GB), you might want to move that to an external hard drive, as long as it's connected through cable with your Macbook and formatted for Mac as well.

Aug 30, 2015 9:10 AM in response to Mayappleby LarryHN,If you really want to remove everything from your mac simply drag the Photos library to the trash and empty the trash - there is no undo for this -- and if 27 BG is a problem you need a better solution as you are very short on space even after recovering that
And note that you do not have a backup since you deleted the photos from your Mac - a backup requires two or more copies of the same data on different drives - putting a copy on a different drive and deleting the original is not a backup and with no backup you are 100% guaranteed to lose your photos sooner or later
