Hard drive management

I'm running Monterey 12.3.1.

I moved the Photos Library to an external HD and that is working fine.

I deleted the Library from my Hard Drive and it is no longer shown in Finder.

But when I go into About This Mac, Storage, then manage it still shows the Library Icon and 79.42 GB.

What has gone wrong and how do I fix it please?

iMac 27″, macOS 12.3

For some reason the manage storage still shows the library even though it is on an external drive.


To find out where my space is used, I use disk inventory X

Which gives a graphical and hierarchical list view of the space used.
