Dec 26, 2015 10:11 AM in response to rsx50by LarryHN,They are not two huge files - they are two files using hard links to share the same source images for the originals and previews - Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
Yes you can delete the migrated iPhoto library but it will save very little space - typically for 5% to 20% of the reported size - and it is not recommended since it makes it very difficult if not impossible to move forward is for some reason you want or need the iPhoto library in the future - If you do choose to delete it you will not lose anything except future options - be sure you have a good archive just in case
and iPHoto 9.6.1 will open and let you use it - if you do not keep your software up to date see Can't Update iPhoto because it is not available in the App Store
