I'm trying to see where you where clicking to produce this effect and then it dawned on me. You are clicking on the iPhoto library which is full of all sorts of strange things. xml files, data files, cache file, ipspot files, just to mention a few. DELETE NOTHING.
Even though none of this stuff makes a deal of sense to you, iPhoto knows exactly how to deal with it.
Although you can eventually find your picture amongst all those strange places, you still need to know what album it is in.
The easiest way to find a particular picture would be to launch iPhoto and find it in there. If you were looking for it so that you could make a copy to send in an email, you have a couple of choices.
1. Find the picture in iPhoto, click on the email button at the bottom of the window and compose your email. Send.
2. Find the picture in iPhoto, drag it onto the desktop where a copy will be made. Launch you mail program, compose, attach the JPG from the desktop. Send.
Is that any good for you?

I was just looking at my pictures folder, trying to find a specific photo. However, when I clicked on the "Pictures" button in the Finder the folders where very odd. They where divided into Data, Originals and Modified, and each folder seemed to contain multiple copies of the same photos on different rolls andin different subfolders. I'm wondering what is okay to delete and what is not, I hate using all the extra space for the same photos. Is there any method to the madness which seems to be the photo organizing system?
