I am running out space on all of my HD's so I started going through the many aperture libraries and deleting old, useless and bad photos. I had one 214 GB Aperture Library that after deleting, most of the photos from it within aperture, it still is at 214 GB. They do not show up anywhere in Aperture. I checked the library package and they are still there. How do I get them to delete properly the FIRST time?
Got a tip for us?

Aperture not deleting photos

The question is how you delete them and how you're managing your photos. You can mark photos for deletion (by giving them a special rating marked with x instead of stars), but that doesn't delete your photos right away. Then, you can focus your selection on all pictures marked for deletion. If you now select them and hit Alt + Backspace, you really delete them for good.
It's supposed to work this way as it gives you a possibility to review your decision to delete the pictures you have marked for deletion.
I have tried it 2 different ways: select photos, right click, select delete. And select photos, command-backspace.
Neither worked properly.
