Photo folders

I have certain photos like grandkids saved into a special folder. I would like to delete them from the main photos library without them disappearing from the folder too. Can I do this?

No.


Photos works on a simple library basis. Everything is in the library. Images in albums are simply links to the image in the library. That way an image can be in many albums but use not extra disk space.
