[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1814811, member: 83420"] A warm welcome to Mac-Forums. May I ask how you are trying to do this, please? That may be the problem. If you absolutely must delete the Photos Library, the thing to do is locate the actual Library and delete that. The Library is located at Macintosh HD > Users > Your Name > Pictures > Photos Library.photoslibrary It's a brave thing to do and I would suggest that you copy that Library to an External Hard Drive (EHD) or back it up via Time Machine just in case you ever change your mind. **When you say** How are you managing your photographs? And how is Photos creating all "these extra files" if you are not using it? Finally, you do know that you can move your Photos Library to an EHD and manage it from there? I'd appreciate your reply to these questions and comments before you do anything drastic that you might regret. Ian [/QUOTE]
