Hi

I have a 1TB Imac and have recently shifted about 738GB of picture files from imac to be stored on an external drive (or 3!) but there is about 740GB of my 1TB hard drive taken up with lightroom library files. Is there any way I can significantly trim or delete this file now the pictures are stored on a different hard drive (with redundancies)? Appreciate the help.

Can you tell us what you mean by "lightroom library files"? A screenshot showing a Finder listing of them would be helpful.

Silly me - I just realized that while I moved my picture file OFF the Imac hard drive, Icloud sync just recopied it back onto the hard drive!! Sorry to waste your time Jim. Have a great weekend.
