I deleted my iPhoto library to gain room as I could not seem to get all the photos deleted on my HD. I had no photos in iPhoto and emptied the trash there as well as on my mac...

I was working in iMovie when I noticed I was low on space. When I looked in "Storage Stats" I saw I had just over 5 gigs of photos !!!?????

I can't find where these damn photos are BUT I dont do any iPhoto on my Laptop and went so far as to DELETE iPhoto... I still have over 5 gigs of photos and can't find them on my HD anywhere ????


What is up with that?

Is there an app that will find where they are hiding?
 
Search in Finder. Type a random number (1 digit) in the box, hit the + beneath it, and choose type:photos. You should be able to pinpoint which directory they are in.
