Q: Should I delete iPhotos when I get the Photos app?
I have both Photos and iPhoto on my iMac. I am happy with the Photos app. Can I simply move the iPhoto app to Trash? What happens to my library of pictures, movies etc.?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion, late 2009 iMac Intel, 12Gb memory

Photos for Mac
You can but it is not recommended
The iPhoto app takes very little space adn is very hard (possibly impossible) to recover if you want or need it
And deleting the iPhoto library will recover very little space either - Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries - Apple Support
