I have a huge discrepency with the size of my Photos library. The Photos app thinks my library is 26GB, but Finder reports it as 75GB! So what is this extra 50GB of "stuff" and how do I get it back?

At some point I migrated from Pictures to Photos, could that be the issue, eg duplicates? I have attached a photo of the contents of my Photos library folder in case anything stands out as unneccessary.

Is there a way using either an Apple or third party app to analyze my library and delete the junk? I'm running Photos 5.0 on macOS 10.15.3. Any help appreciated
