I have a Macbook Air 128 Gb and its always short on hard disk! Since Photos app came out, I started using it. I did the initial migration of iPhoto to Photos app (don't know which settings i chose). The issue now is :
I have 2 photo libraries
- Photo library (35Gb)
- iPhoto migrarted library (27Gb)
I don't think I've 70gb worth of photos in there and when i try to open the migrated library it says already migrated to photos app. All tools like whatsize
shows them like different files and even when I copy both in my external hard drive it takes a combined storage of 70Gb. My mac does not have that much data but still only 5 Gb is left.
Now, is it safe to delete iPhoto migrated library, how can I be double sure that no data is lost! I'm in serious need of space.
To make my question unique from this , there user's iPhoto and photos app library were taking combined 35Gb, here they are taking 35+27 = 62Gb! My libraries take individual space, so please don't mix this question with the other one, it doesn't answer my question!
1st one is with photo library and other one is with iPhoto!
