If you used iPhoto before it was Photos, then you probably have a lot of old albums which were automatically created that don't mean anything to you. This can make finding your stuff a bit more difficult.
The issue dates back to a feature that was introduced in iPhoto called "events." This was a "smart feature" (debatable) which organized your photos taken around a similar time/location into automatic groups. When you migrated your iPhoto library over to what is now Photos, those events were translated into albums. If you were to delete them one at a time, you're looking at hours of work. Here's a trick to quickly remove them in seconds and clean up your Photos library.
