Q: duplicate files from iPhoto to Photo
I'm trying to clean up some disk space using OmniDiskSweeper and founding my /pictures folder iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary folder that's 63GB as well as a Photos Library.photoslibrary folder with 36 GB. How do I determine from which folder do I delete my duplicates? Also, within the iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary folder, I have 3.3 GB of photos in Previews, which again are duplicates. I deleted one photo from the Preview folder and then checked to see if was deleted from my Photos app. It was still there. Can I safely assume that I can gain 3GB by eliminating that folder without losing my photos? Same question for my Thumbnails folder which is 8.4 GB?
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.4)
