If my iPhoto Library was migrated to Photos, is it safe to delete the old library?

Yes, if you won't be using iPhoto again. Note that the media files are hardlinked, so deleting it won't free up nearly as much space as it seems.

Ohhhh. Darn. That's disappointing. But I'm grateful for your quick response, Niel. I've got over 280GB, so I was hoping.

Thank you.
