Q: Deleting photos from Photos
I tried cleaning up my massive library of photos but have not created any disk space despite deleting roughly 100GB worth.
I deleted photos from the Photos App and then went through the 'recently deleted photos' folder and permanently deleted the photos.
I previously used iPhoto and migrated to Photos when iPhoto was no longer supported. I tried opening iPhoto to view the library of migrated photos but this app is no longer available. Finder indicates I am using over 500GB for each of the Photos library and iPhoto migrated library (clearly this is not the case as my hard drive is only 1TB).
I have heard that moving the iPhotos library to the trash would help but am hesitant to do this.
My desktop uses OS X Yosemite (10.10.5) with 1TB which is now almost full. Photos app is version 1.0.1
iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
