Nov 15, 2015 8:35 AM in response to albandozby Old Toad,How did you split the previous library and how long ago was it?
If you deleted all but the 37 photos from the library did you go to the Recently Deleted album and complete the deletion?
Deleting Photos from a Photos 1.2 Library
1 - regardless of where you are in the library, i.e. Moments, Collections, albums, smart albums or projects, select the photo(s) you want to delete and use the key combination of Command+Delete to move the photos to the Recently Deleted smart album.
2 - click on the Recently Deleted smart albums in the sidebar.
3 - in the Recently Deleted album you can opt to let the photo automatically delete after the 30 day waiting period is up, delete them immediately or restore them to the library.
NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from a Moment or Collection deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.
