Hello all,
I have a question about my Photos library and the amount of space it is taking up. According to my About this Mac panel I have around 66GB of photos on my internal SSD drive, Athena. Screen Shot 2016-11-06 at 3.08.03 PM.png Screen Shot 2016-11-06 at 3.07.08 PM.png
However, that is the same size as my photos library that is on an external HDD named Odin according to Photos.app preferences, where I want it.
Screen Shot 2016-11-06 at 3.07.37 PM.png So my question is why does it show up wrong as taking up space on my internal SSD? Is it actually taking up that space? Is there a way for me to gain that space back from my SSD since I want my library to be on the HDD named Odin? Or do you think this is a bug and not expected behavior?

Thanks for any help! :cool:
