Deleted but iPhoto library not disk space

Hi guys,.

-I'm on a Macbook pro with an upgrade end 2011 1 TB SSD (Crucial) on El Capitan

- and just deleted my old iPhoto library (which was 420 GB) and emptied the Recycle Bin

-Unfortunately has no free space, my photo library is 440 GB and the size of the Pictures folder has reduced 880 GB 460 GB

- BUT my SSD (drive) is always also shows 120 GB of free space only. When I emptied the Recycle Bin only about 20 GB released instead of 420 Go

I've tried so far:

-waiting for Finder to catch up

-empty the trash again

-restart

--redemarrer reboot into recovery mode, run disk utility, first aid

-tried to copy a 200 GB file on the SSD drive to check if the space is truly free, showing everything simply does not, but he said not "enough space on the SSD.

All suggestions and help very welcome!

Thank you

Daniel

It's exactly what you expect.

While iPhoto and the report of libraries of Photos using 400 concerts or more, it has the same 400 concerts. The two libraries called the original photos of their own through Unix hard links and share a few minor elements. So, screw up the iPhoto Library recovered space that was exclusively used by iPhoto only.

Photos saves disk space to share images with your iPhoto or Aperture - Apple Support libraries

    You will not lose data if you delete the iPhoto library - you don't have an it's one you delete

    However is it discouraged because it will save very little space and you may want to or have need of the later - iPhoto library it is best to wait at least three months and when you remove it remember to archive everything first just in case where you want or need

  • Deletion of user account for disk space

    Dear Sir or Madam:

    Deleting a user will represent to free up more disk space on Windows XP?

    This situation applies to Windows 7 and Windows 8?

    Please reply back soon.

    Thank you.

    A "user account" in itself takes up very little space.  But once the user first logs on, Windows creates a 'profile' so that the user who can occupy a lot of space.  The profile includes all files used on the user's desktop and files under "My Documents" folder of the user (among others) which may be quite large, but includes everything what preferences and user files.

    In Windows XP, you can see the amount of space used by each user profile to:

    Right click on "My Computer"-> properties-> (Advanced tab)-> settings (in the user profile Section)

    If you have permission, you can select a profile and click on the 'Delete' button to free up disk space.  He recreated the next time the user logs on but delete everything that the user files.

    In Windows 7, the same screen can be obtained from:

    Right click on "Computer"-> properties-> Advanced System Settings-> (Advanced tab)-> the settings in the user profile Section.

  • Delete the iPhoto library?

    I just noticed that I have a migrated iPhoto Library with 76 GB last opening in April 2015.

    The photo library occupies about 90 GB and update.

    Can I delete the old library to free up space which could be just a left over after the upgrade for the Photos?

    Yes, the media files are hardlinked, so it won't make anywhere near as much space as it appears, it will be. In addition, you will not be able to reopen the iPhoto library.

    Hello

    My wife gave me his iMac and she is listed as a user Admin I created my own user. I want to create more disk space by removing his admin account.


    Apple gives these instructions:

    OS X Mavericks: remove a user

    If you are an administrator, you can remove users that you would no longer have access to your Mac.

    When you delete a user, you can save the home folder of the user, which contains the files and the settings of the user, or delete the folder.

    Open the preferences users and groups, and then click the lock icon to unlock it. If required, type your password, and then click on unlock.

    Select the user you want to remove, and then click Remove under the list of users.

    Do one of the following:

    To save the home folder of the user as a disc image, select "Save the home folder in a disk image." The disk image is saved in/Users/deleted users.

    In order to leave such base file, select "do not change the folder." The folder remains in / Users /.

    To delete the folder of your computer, select "Remove the folder." If you want to keep the programs that read the raw data to recover all files, select "delete the folder safely."

    Click on the user to remove.

    If you do not remove a personal folder user, you can restore the user and the content of the home folder.


    My questions, that they do not explain the instructions.

    1. can I delete his account if I'm not the Admin? I can access the admin account.

    2. can I designate me as the new admin, and then delete his account?

    3. I have, indeed, will create more disk space by removing account here?

    4. If I register his record as a disk image, which will open disk space without delete me the entire account?


    A technician Apple told me that I can not increase the memory of 8 GB to 16 GB on my vision.

    5. can't increase memory - is this true?

    My computer works as fast as I want and I'm trying to reduce the load on the system.

    6. I go about it the right way or is there something more I can do?

    Thank you

    Hi Tony, I asked your serial number erased. You never want to post in a public forum.

    To answer your question, no, you can not delete the account if you are not admin. You try to delete the account to become the sole Director of the computer? If so, everything will always be linked to his Apple ID and will require a password to authenticate anything. If this is the case, you must wipe the drive and reinstall the OS using internet recovery.

  • iMovie library moved but still holding the disk space

    I create separate iMovie libraries and record them on an external hard drive so that they take place on my computer drive. When I look into iMovie, all the various events, I had aren't there, so it would seem that save them to the external hard drive was working. However, my storage show a huge amount of space is being taken up by movies! Under "movies" in the Finder, I clicked on "View the contents of the package" for the iMovie library, and it shows all of the projects I have and under each one of them is the original media that I had moved on the external hard drive!

    I am very confused as to why this is happening. The raw images should not be on my computer if I'd put away them!

    They are not under the iMovie library when the program is opened. Should I remove the projects too?

    I'm running iMovie 10.1

    You seem to have copied and not moved.   How exactly did you create and populate the libraries on the external hard drive?

  • The files downloaded, did not open, I deleted but now can not download it again

    I m of the enormous difficulties trying to download and install programs CS6.

    I downloaded the programs on my Mac. Then, I got a new mac and migrated my files and programs CS6 on him. Two Macs are OS 10.8.3 The Adobe Application Manager recognizes not the installed programs. So I deleted the and then reinstalled the. Then, the programs were all defective and not opening due to poor facilities. So I deleted those and now I can't reinstall the Adobe Application Manager. He says they are currently installed and up to date!

    How can I install these programs again?

    OK, so I had to download the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner tool and read the "README" doc first and uninstalled the files properly (instead of just deleting), and then I used the cleaning tool. Worked like a charm! Now I can reinstall the programs again!

  • iPhoto masters of the same file as file pictures Masters? If this is not the case, can I delete the file from iPhoto masters to save space?

    I clean my system and hoped that someone can tell me if my Masters iPhoto file was separated altogether from the new master files of Photos?  These two files communicate with each other, or they are completely independent of each other?  I use pictures now, and I guess my pictures, it draws from its own masters file.  Can I safely delete the masters iPhoto without losing all the photos?  Masters iPhoto file is approx. 113GB and the file Photos Masters is about 140 GB, so I guess they are independent of each other.  I appreciate the help.  Thank you!

    they are totally independent

    You can remove without affecting the other

    BUT it will save very little space because they are both pointing to the same original photos using the links hard- pictures recorded on the disc to share images with your iPhoto or libraries Aperture - Apple Support

    Unless you are absolutely positive that you are finished with the iPhoto library (and unless he had three or more months I suggest you can't be done with it) it is recommended not to delete the iPhoto library - you can never remove parts - remove the library or keep it

  • iPhoto library picture problem - what is their actual size, I can delete?

    Hello

    I'm trying to fix a friend's Mac airbook. It is insufficient on... out of 120 GB hard disk space, only 5 GB remaining who is causing trouble.

    Now at some point, she has improved iPhoto to photos! On his computer, there are now two files... and it size differs depending on what software I use:

    OmniDiskSweeper:

    iPhoto Library 30.2 GB

    Photo Library: 15.2

    Daisydisk:

    IPhoto library: 18, 7 GB

    15.2 GB photo

    ---

    total: 33.9

    GrandPerspective:

    iPhoto: 27.9

    Photo library: 3.46

    -

    total: 31,36 GB

    Finder (information)

    IPhoto library: 30 GB

    Photo Library: 15.7 GB

    1. If the size is the iPhoto library? 30.2 GB, 30 GB, 27.9 GB or 18.7 GB? And what size it the photo library? If information can I trust?

    2. can I remove one of the libraries?

    I really need to make room for her and have tried everything... the real solution appears to tackle this problem of libraries of photos.

    Help, please!

    PSI don't know exactly how it migrated data. In any case I read much online and some people say that I can remove the old library, some people I can't say... or even if I do, saved on hard drive size won't matter.

    beawre: this lady has no backup anywhere! (I know, crazy... but that's how she made things... I cannot now buy one for her, so I need to be careful before deleting anything)

    If it does use iPhoto, you can delete the iPhoto library but you should check it first just in case

    as for its size can in no way anyone without access to the computer can tell

    as for space economy it will probably save a lot because it seems that she has a lot of deletions of his photo library or use iCloud photo library with optimized photos - immediately after the migration, two libraries share links to the originals and previews and deletion either saves very little space but that changes are made to one and not the other potential savings grow - my guess is that in his case, the savings will be a lot, but the only way to know is to archive the iPhoto library and delete it and restart

    And be very careful about programs like OmniDiskSweeper - if you use it to remove pictures of each library it will destroy the library - you should NEVER directly remove anything on a Photos or iPhoto library - always use the program to remove things
