[QUOTE="pmnapier, post: 95191"] I thought I understood the iPhoto library structure, but I guess not. I spent some time the other day culling through my photos and deleting a lot. Just general clean-up. I did this the following way: With iPhoto running I go into the "Photo Library" which is supposed to show all photos I've imported into iPhoto. I then deleted various photos by ctrl-clicking them and selecting "move to trash" from the contextual menu. I THOUGHT this would do it. They disappeared from the main library (which they should) and no longer appeared in any associated albums I had created (also as it should be). However, going in via the finder, ~/pictures/iPhoto Library, I find all of the pictures I thought I had deleted are still there, still taking up hard drive space. Is there no way to absolutely delete photos from inside the iPhoto application itself? If not, it's a very cumbersome process and very "un-mac." Suggestions? Using iPhoto 4.0.3 with OS X 10.3.7 NEVER MIND - Didn't empty the trash!! Sorry everyone. [/QUOTE]
