As Aperture is no longer installed (I am using Lightroom 5), I no longer have access to the Aperture Database. <br />
<br />
I don't think I care about the Aperture Database any longer; I want to delete duplicate photos and rebuild Lightroom catalog. <br />
<br />
Essentially I want to start over with set(s) of unduplicated photos used to build Lighroom catalog.

Gemini returns 'cannot delete' because photo is needed to maintain Aperture Library.<br />

How do I disconnect photos from Aperture Library so they can be deleted? &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Maybe just move from current [Library] location? Or will this create other issues re: deletion.
