But to be safe, you could move the library to an external drive and then test to make sure Photos continues to work with your images. That way you have the library saved until you know Photos will work without it.

Deleting it will not cause any issues with Photos but it is recommended that you not for a while since you may want or need the iPhoto library in the future and restoring it can be problematic
