I feel slimmer already. Thanks again- I crunched my library from about 5.6 Gb down to 3.6. I feel slimmer already.

For those who are not wanting to venture into Terminal, use Spotlight to find AP.Thumbnails, select and drag to trash. Do the same with the other2 AP. files. As always make sure your library is backed up before doing this. I accidentally deleted a folder with several projects the other day. Yes the photos end up in the trash and they can easily be imported, but the metadata and adjustments are lost. The fix - import the folder from my SuperDuper backup - all is good.

I've been using Aperture (finally) since June and am so stoked with it. I've been storing them all on my laptop, and hopefully one day maybe will load the back archive of a box full of CD/DVDs on an external drive. This is really useful info; I try to prune as much free space as I can on the MBP. Thanks for the tip. I’ve been using Aperture (finally) since June and am so stoked with it.
