I am running out of room on my mac so I decided to start deleting and reorganizing my thousands of photos.
Using a program called InventoryX, I discovered that seemingly every photo I've had on this computer has copied and been sorted under my username>Pictures. The whole Pictures folder is 30GB. Its been sorted:
2008
2009
2010
and there are sub folders:
year-month-day
etc..
Clearly, I am not that organized lol. Each of these folders are copies (I am assuming). The other copies of these pics are also still where I copied them from my camera. I never even use the Pictures folder, I store all stuff on the desktop in a folder called "to update". No joke, that is how unorganized it all is.
I am curious to know what these files are from. I am afraid to delete them because I am afraid they could be anchored somehow, I don't want to lose all my pics.
Some programs that I have that could be responsible are Lightroom, aperture, photoshop. I am highly suspecting Lightroom. Whenever I do a photoshoot, I copy all my files into a folder on my desktop. Then I import them into Lightroom. Could it be lightroom storing my files?
