[QUOTE="xiaoming92, post: 1737005, member: 385010"] Hi Mac Users, I have a late 2012 Macbook Pro, with macOS Sierra version 10.12.1. My hard drive is 128GB, and now only around 20GB space available. I tried to clean up some space and realize my photos take twice as much storage. Here is what's I found troublesome: Click Apple logo - About This Mac - Storage - Manage At this page, you can see how much space do "Applications" "Documents"...take on you drive. If I click "Documents" - "File Browser" - "Pictures" (which occupies 37.6GB of space) and "Photos Library" underneath it, occupies 36.29. This is all good, since My photos and videos in Photos Library are around 33GB. However, if I scroll down on the left where shows "Applications" "Documents"...to the bottom, I can see "Photos" which occupies 42.09 GB. This is the part I really confuse. I did a thorough check on my Mac, my iPhoto has been deleted completely including the iPhoto Library, All my photos and videos are in the Photos Library. I makes sense that my photo library is 36.29GB big, but why is the "Photos" 42.9GB? Can anyone please help, Is there a way to free up the 42.9GB of space under the name of "Photos"? I am really confused, since all my photos and videos are in the Photo Library, What does that 42.9GB under "Photos" store? Thank you so much, Really appreciated for everyone's help! Mark [/QUOTE]
