please help me verify no extraneous aplibrary files

i want to verify that i don't have any extraneous aplibrary files with images in an erroneously located or created aplibrary.

would anyone mind helping me parse/sort the libraries showing up when i select the import option in aperture? i have included the PICTURES folder on my mac pro as i have multiple backup hard drives and i do think i see a lot of these showing up in the aperture import dialog but not obviously in the PICTURES folder where my working libraries actually reside.

i just want to sort of cross off what is on a backup and then verify that i don't have anything extra on this HD or my images segregated in some way that i am not aware of.

THANK

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), 2012, w/ boot camp of Win 7 and Win 8

OK. so i opened the "Aperture Library.aplibrary" in my pictures folder and there is in fact no data here. obviously the one i created called "TEST" is a new test library. so i guess i am correct in thinking that i can DELETE "Aperture Library" file and then rename the "Aperture Library 2" file to "Aperture Library" and thereby clean things up a little.

apologies if this sounds a little pedantic but i like to walk these things through a little (and get confirmation if possible) before i do anything with info/data like this.

THANKS
