Worked like magic. It didn't delete any photos form my phone or my iPad and it freed up 150GB worth of space! Thank you

how do I undo this please, I was looking for how to delete a picture but I'm so stupid I followed every step but I didn't drag my library to the trash so it's still there but it won't open back and pictures doesn't work

[musiconwingcc]

Thank you for this! Freed up so much space for my music software now. So easy too! Thanks again!

[ricobaulos]

Does this also remove all the photos in my icloud?

[simeris]

Do you have any way to recover them back I just pressed on empty trash I want to recover them all back but they’re gone ? Is there any way to get back ??

[madzzhere]

I had so useless photos and now ik how to delete them tysm!

[LeMoonyMushroom]

Thank you so much for this video!! It really helped a lot but now I have a question... once we create a new library and begin taking photos, for instance, during a FaceTime call or in Photo Booth, how can we have access to those photos within the Photos App? On the finder it says that it has been modified, but in the app there is still that "Welcome To Photos" message.

Hey i did this on my mac but it ended up syncing my iCloud after i deleted my library. how do I go about this

[Rottenist]

Does this also delete from my other devices or iCloud?

[enjoylife]

If I want to delete all pictures on my library on Mac, because I prefer to have them on my IPhone, what can I do to not cancel trough ICloud the ones that I have on my mobile?
