What is the best way to delete all my photos and work off the external drive that I have copied them to?

Just delete the iPhoto Library file. If you're really sure you want to delete everything in iPhoto.

I can't find the Library. I must be doing something wrong.

It's in the Pictures folder in your Home folder. It's pretty clearly labelled as "iPhoto Library."
Again -- because this is SUPER IMPORTANT -- make **absolutely sure** you have a full and complete BACKUP of this library before you throw it away.

I found it. I had dragged it to my ICloud. I pulled it back and now I am concerned that if I delete it, I won't have access to the photos on our iPads . What do you suggest? I have two back ups of the iPhoto Library. 1 is on a flash drive and the other on my same 2TB drive that stays connected for my Time Machine.
