[QUOTE="Mikeo1938, post: 1770794, member: 135375"] Thanks to both for the replies. Regarding the reply from Bob ... I've looked in prefs and see that I do indeed have 'copy file to library' selected. I guess this is the default. So I gather from this that I've not achieved much (in terms of saving space) by deleting the shots from 'Photos' that I took at reference libraries and public record offices. I've just looked in 'Pictures' (left-hand sidebar) .. and in here anarchy reigns! There are loads of pix, included those from public record offices that I've deleted from 'Photos'. But it gets worse. There's also: *'iPhoto Library 1' (37.81GB). (Some years ago I stopped using 'iPhoto' and took up with 'Photos'.) * two files both called 'Photos Library_1'. One of these shows 6.4MB and the other shows 33.17GB. Many of the images that I see in 'Photos' are the same as those in 'iPhoto' ... can't be sure that they're [U]all[/U] in there. Is there any point in keeping the images that are in 'iPhoto Library'? Can I just delete them? Would this be helpful ... perhaps dangerous? I think that mess-ups occurred when I've changed Macs over the years. Perhaps I should do some trial-and-error and see what happens if I delete images ... but I'd appreciate comments on this muddle.
