[QUOTE="skybolt, post: 1657346, member: 30261"] I did the upgrade, and will be using Photos from here forward. I noticed that my hard drive was filling up, so I started looking. I find that I now have a library named iPhoto Library.migratedphotolibrary that is 136 GB (I have about 16,000 pics), and one named Photos Library.photoslibrary that is 81 GB. Why are they so big? And do I need both? What are the ramifications if I delete the "migrated" iPhoto library? I also notice that I have, in the "migrated" file 54 GB in iPod Photo Cache. I don't use an iPod any more, just my iPhone. Do I need this file? Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
