Confused about thumbnail images. I have both iPhoto and Photos on my MacBook Pro with Sierra. Is it okay to delete thumbnails of the same larger photos without deleting those too? Thanks!!

No. When Photos imports a photo into the library it creates a thumbnail/preview version to display in albums and other windows of the library. Deleting the thumbnail/preview also deletes the full sized original file. There's no way to separate them when deleting. Just consider them one and the same.
Lastly, you are very nice! I will. Best to you.
Is it safe to delete thumbnail images? Will doing so delete main images? Can't find this topic anywhere. Thank you.
