About this mac issue

Since the beginning of the beta I've been having this bug where in About this Mac my main drive is reporting almost 200GB of photos even though my photo library is on anther drive. Is this a known bug or something to do with iCloud Photo library. The drive free space is correct its just the bar thats out of wack.

Did you by any chance create a shortcut for the photos library that's on an external drive back into your Pictures folder on the internal drive?

No theres no shortcuts and the internal pictures folder is empty

Yep. I have my pics on a jetdrive lite SD card but had a shortcut and saw the same type of issue you see in the storage screen. I just deleted the shortcut though (and waited for a few mins for Spotlight to kick in) and I still see the same figure.

Seems like a bug/oddity in the spotlight figures in Sierra. If I have time later I'll report it.
