The size would depend on the number of photos that have been saved in the library file.

The next box would be an open square box for the size of file.

The second drop down will have ‘equal’ as default that needs to be changed to ‘greater than’.The first dropdown would be named Kind, select File size from the drop down.On the menu bar click on File and then Find, this will open a search window.The shortcut looks like a square with a smiling face and would be present in your dock. The Finder application: This is a better option than spotlight as it narrows down the search but the steps involved are a little confusing and time consuming.Search this on the entire system drive (click show all in folder) or any other external drives which you could have used. You can either search with the name you gave to your library file or the default name which is provided by Apple which is iPhoto Library. Spotlight: If you could not locate the file in trash, the next way to search is through spotlight or the magnifying glass icon which is located on the top right corner of the menu bar.In case you are lucky and you find it there you just need to drag and restore it back to its original location that would be the pictures location under user. Trash is usually located at the bottom of your dock.

Therefore the first place to look is the trash folder. OS Trash: The update can delete the library file and move it to trash.This process can get complicated and time consuming as you go further down the list of steps. What you need to do is, make the iPhoto retrieve the missing library file. iPhoto always loads the last opened library file and if it’s not able to locate it, a new one is created. Library file is the master file where iPhoto writes all the information about each and every photo. In some cases, the upgrade just makes iPhoto library move to the trash or to some other location, after which it then creates a new library file which is empty and therefore the user thinks that all the data has been erased or deleted. Therefore, if you have not created a backup before upgrading there might be a possibility of data loss. The new OS replaces the old files and in many cases even deletes some old ones. Recently, there has been an outrage from many users about the upgrade users claim to have lost or deleted photos, documents and music. The excitement of getting to use the new features generally causes most users to forget that they need to back up their data before upgrading. Everyone wants to upgrade to the new version and work with new technology. The new features launched by Apple’s El Capitan OS are definitely attractive with a free upgrade.
