    Too late for All my Files, I had already deleted a lot of items there, freeing up a total of 12.89 GB on my hard drive.

    That is too bad - there is a very good chance that you have damaged your Photos library beyond repair - do you have a backup from before you deleted this form "All my Files"?

     

    With 12+ GB you should be able to operate now - 10 is the min

    Since the duplicate Photos library is over 50 GB, I think the available 12 GB on the hard drive is not enough room for it to be deleted.

    I let it sit all day trying to delete it and it is still there.

     

    The rest of the programs seem to work fine. The only thing affected is the Photos Library. It is still empty!
