 To delete a folder: Choose File > Delete Folder (or press Command-Delete).
A dialog appears asking if you want to continue.

or a book album:
m Select the album, then choose File > Delete [Item].

Working with Library Files
When the Library file becomes large and requires more disk space than is available in
its current location, you can move it to a hard disk with more storage capacity.
Aperture is preset to create the Library in the Pictures folder on your internal hard disk.
You can specify that the Library be located in a different folder or on a different disk.
Each time you open Aperture, the application opens the Library in the location you
specified. To change the location of the Library, you move it to a new location and then
use the Aperture Preferences window to specify the new location.
∏
Tip: To maximize performance, place the Library file on an internal hard disk.
Warning: This action cannot be undone. Once you click the Delete button, the master
files are moved to the Trash. All versions and their adjustments and metadata are
permanently deleted. To permanently remove the master files from your hard disk,
empty the Trash.
