8 GB of "ghost" photo - help locate and delete these photos.

Hi, I have an Air of MacBook Mid 2011, running OS X El Capitan. I have problems with what appears to be that 8.17 GB of photos stored on the hard drive when I've always kept my files on an external drive.

I have used before OS X Yosemite and the Photos/photo workflow application, I kept all my files on my external hard drive but I found out later it stores small thumbnails on the internal hard drive. Since the update to El Capitan, I deleted all the files of old photo library and the new version contains very little data. When I access ' on my Mac / storage ' it shows still 8.17 GB of photos, but I can't see where they can be. I ran Omni drive Sweeper software, and who does not show something that large non more. I've attached a screen so you can see what I mean. I hope that makes sense! I don't mind wiping the hard drive and start again, but I'm just very curious/frustrated that I can't find a solution 'normal '.

Thank you

Steve

    In fact, you can delete everything in the temporary folder that is not currently in use. Best time to do this removal is immediately after the start, before launching other applications.

  • Import and delete the photos from the camera

    The link you gave is not useful. I don't want to use the application Windows 8 photos. All I want to do is to plug my camera and have pictures, transfer in a folder of my title and delete the photo from my camera. It's an ability that were available in Windows 7 and not available in Windows 8. I am currently using Dropbox and it is slow and uses tons of data to my hotspot.

    Thank you!

  • How to import in the video editor of first elements 13 clips with the tag structure or the person, location and the structure of the event organizer?

    How to import in the video editor of first elements 13 clips with the tag structure or the person, location and the structure of the event organizer?

    senior50

    On what computer operating system is your first items 13 running? And you have updated 13 to 13.1 still using Help Menu/implementation of an open project? If this isn't the case, please consider this.

    Now to your question immediately.

    I would consider placing your files for organizing items (person, place or event) in albums that you create in the organizer of items for each. Then,

    (a) the content of the album of the opening of the first elements add multimedia/Organizer.

    or

    (b) by selecting your album in the elements Organizer, select the photos in the album you want, then right click anywhere in a selection and Edit with Premiere elements editor selection?

    Have you been there and done that yet?

    Please examine, consider, give more details, and we can then decide what.

    Thank you.

    Apple has blocked 'file manager apps' access directly at the beginning of iOS with iOS 8.3 file system.

    The only way that some files are accessible through these types of applications is if the files are marked for sharing files (accessible via iTunes on Mac/PC) by the developer of the app. Actually, you don't need a ' file manager app "since the sharing of files in iTunes already allows to access files directly via iTunes in the first place.

    • Press and hold the Home button
    • Press and hold both buttons until the display turns off and on again with the Apple logo on the subject.
