Hi BaaLamb,


I understand you're having trouble importing content to Photos on your Mac, and I want to help.


Check out this guide that details importing:

Overview of importing photos and videos into Photos on Mac - Apple Support


You should be able import specifically what you would like or everything, after importing you can delete from the external device and delete from your Photos library.


Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.
