I download all of my photos to the Pictures directory on my Mac with OS Sierra installed. I do not manage my photos using the Photos app but opened it once to see if I might like to. I'm thinking it may have duplicated/imported several years of files when I did this? Today's notification that my hard drive is full prompted me to open Photos again to see what I can see. The Importing preference to copy items to the Photos library is off, but maybe I did that when I got my first notification that the hard drive is filling up. Photos Library in the Pictures directory is 118 GB. How do I get rid of this without screwing things up? (Yes I have external drive backup.) I can't even send a message from my local email client, write a Word document, do anything! Stacy -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
