[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1737039, member: 83420"] Hi Mark, and a warm welcome to Mac-Forums. This is my understanding of the situation: Originally, long before you upgraded to macOS Sierra, you were using the iPhoto app. At some stage, presumably after macOS Sierra, you imported your pictures in to the Photos app. I suspect that since then, you have been adding pictures to Photos. This could account for the 36.9 GB (iPhoto pictures) and the 42.09 GB (Photos pictures). Although you say that the iPhoto app has been deleted, this may or may not be the case. In any event, it looks as though your iPhoto Library is still there along with the new Photos Library. At least, that is a plausible explanation. May I ask you do to something please? Go to Macintosh HD > Users > your name > Pictures and look for: iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary (this should be 36 GB or so) iPhoto Library.photolibrary (this, if it exists, will be minuscule) Photos Library.photoslibrary (this will be 40+ GB) It would be very helpful to have confirmation, or otherwise, of the presence of any of these Libraries. If I'm right, your original iPhoto Library is still there as well as your new Photos Library. We shall see, Ian [/QUOTE]
