Updating the data base to the new version of Photos 6 - from a prior version? ( Mojave? / Catalina?)

makes sense but I have had Big Sur since release date, I also noticed that the library size went from 60gb to over 100gb

I have close to 100g with a similar mount of pictures - but less videos (did not notice an increase between Mojave and Big Sur)

Maybe it just took a while to upgrade the data base and calculate?

Question, if i delete everything that is in icloud right now and force a re upoad. Would anything go wrong?

I don't use iCloud for pictures or home videos - sorry I don't really know - It seems like maybe not all your pictures are uploaded to iCloud?

I keep all my pictures on a "local" photos libraries on my MAC and back that up twice a week on different drives - no iCloud

Maybe someone who uses iCloud for photos can chime in and advise?
