[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1723345, member: 83420"] @cheddar-caveman I'm really repeating what Slydude has said, but in a slightly different way, maybe. In iPhoto, deleting a picture puts it into iPhoto's own Trash. It's a safeguard. Mistakes are made by the best of us. Now, I'm doing this from memory because I moved on to Photos app a while ago; but I recall that in iPhoto, on the left with all the headings, was the word "Trash". This is the iPhoto Trash. Right clicking on it brought up the "Delete Trash" option. Click on delete. This moves all the deleted images to the Mac's Trash. Again another safeguard. Now go into the Mac's Trash and delete - all gone. Oh, by the way, if you're talking mega-GBs of data, that can take some time. Sometimes, and I don't know why, to see the change in "Disk Utility" or "About This Mac", you need to reboot the Mac. Keep coming back till we sort this out; you're always welcome. Ian [/QUOTE]
