Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The only thing i have done was empty my all image folder in finder under the search for triangle
By empty do you mean move to trash? Messing with the contents of the iPhoto LIbrary package using the Finder is tantamount to committing the cardinal sin of iPhoto.
Open the iPhoto Library package like this. and look inside the Originals folder and its subfolders to see if the full sized image files are still there. If so you'll be able to create a new library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.
If there are no full sized files inside the Originals folder and you don't know where they are on the hard drive, i.e. you deleted them via the Finder, you'll need to use a file recovery program like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage to recover those image files.
Please expand on exactly what you did using the search.
