Afraid to Delete File-Photo Library

I am having storage issues and I think I have found my issue. I have a migrated iPhoto library that hasn't been touch since 2016. If I delete that file in my documents folder will the rest of my photos remain?

Can I delete the iPhotos migrated library after it has been converted to a Photos library? I am trying to clean up my computer's storage, and see that the largest single file is a "migrated photo library". When I try to open the file, it indicates that the file has been converted to a Photos library and I can view my photos there. Moreover, I also have my files saved automatically to iCloud to make sure I have back ups. Can i delete the iPhotos migrated library to save space? Will it delete the photos in my iCloud?

Pics migrated to Photos library - can I delete the Photo Library file in my Documents? I have a 21GB file named "Photo Library", under Documents - which I can't open as it says that the pics have been migrated to my Photos library. Does that mean I can delete the file *without losing any photos from the Photos library"?

Deleting iphoto library after migrating to photos? I have a photos library of over 700gb and an iphoto library of over 200gb. When I try to open the iphoto library, I get a message saying that "this library has already been migrated to photos." Does this mean it is safe to delete the old iphoto library? As far as I can tell, all of my photos ARE in the new photos library. I wasn't sure if the photos app needed the old files somehow. I just moved everything to some external drives and want to be very careful before I reclaim that space on my hard drive. Thank you
