Deleting my photos in iCloud

I have a library of Photos 22 GB on my iMac and also 50 GB of storage in iCloud.  For the last three months, I had my library of Photos stored in iCloud photo library.  I was on the phone with Apple for two months trying to solve a problem (my photo library iCloud always indicates I have 476 photos more than my library of Photos on my iMac and storage indicates clearly that I have 49 GB of my 50 GB available).  Apple is a loss to explain this!  They just keep telling me to wait and see if it fixes itself.  I figure another way to get my library of Photos from my laptop, and so have turned off my iCloud photo library and the days are countdown.  What happens then?  My question is how do I remove Photos that are still in the cloud?  What happens to them?  They disappear or are they retained by Apple?

If you have disabled and removed from the picture library to iCloud in the cloud, all photos will be deleted after 30 days (iso). Once this has happened, you can try him again. Just to be sure, what path did you take to disable and remove your iCloud library.

  • Is it possible to recover deleted photos from icloud?

    Stupidly, I didn't know that the iCloud storage plan did not provide for storage.  When I backed up my phone, it is cleared of my photos from my account.  Is it possible to recover?  Any way to go back to a previous backup?  I don't even have a deleted folder recently on my photos page.

    OK, something added here. You said that when you have backed up your device, it erased your pictures.

    When you do an iCloud (or iTunes) backup, it backs up everything on your device. It does nothing for the data on the device. Thus, your photos were eliminated in a backup. Do you import your photos in a library on your computer? The process makes you wonder if you want to delete the photos?

    We need a complete description, step by step, what you were doing, and what happened.

I go to iCloud.com and click on the pictures, it says "Welcome to photos, go into settings to allow iCloud photos." So, I'm a computer major and I don't know where these photos are available on the internet.

    Hello. I so want to know if there is a way to keep the photos on icloud and get them deleted on your iphone, so that there is no problem of storage of the device.

    iCloud is a synchronization system, not an external 'hard drive '. If you remove them on your device, they will remove icloud. To increase the available space, go settings/iCloud/Photos and select optimize iPhone/iPad storage. That will reduce the space required by 90% when it is fully effective.

  • How can I delete my photos in the photo library of iCloud?

    I placed my entire photo library - some 40 GB in iCloud photo library.  Everything seems to work quite well.  I keep the originals on my Mac.  I noticed that the optimized on my iPhone and iPad versions are beginning to produce a tightening of the memory on the last two.  I want to do is delete my iCloud photo library and start over with a subset of my main library - just five years with a value of photos that are about 10 GB.  How to achieve this?

    Make sure any time original photos are on your mac and iCloud library off on all devices - will delete all the photos in iCLoud in 30 days - then set the library smaller that the library system and turn on ICPL and the new smaller library will be transferred to ICPL

  • ICloud deleting deletes photo library photos from iCloud, photo sharing

    I have iCloud photo library on my Mac and on my iPhone.  I created an album of photos and videos to spend several weeks going apartment hunting in my neighborhood.  I have friends who are also looking for apartments in my neighborhood and these photos and videos would be useful for them.  So I want to share all these content with them using iCloud, photo sharing.  However, I have this great set of photos/videos over on my Mac or my iPhone, because I have an apartment and my use for these photos.

    So I want to:

    1. create a shared album (let's call it 'Videos apartment').

    2. Add all my photos and videos of my apartment hunting that is currently in my library to iCloud.

    3 share only iCloud library with my friends (they can add, comment, do what they want)

    4 delete the original files from my library to iCloud I don't don't need or want these photos over on my personal devices.

    My question is: if I delete the photo in step 4, which will also remove the same pictures of the iCloud Shared Library?

    It would be useful to know if the iCloud share photos are copies separated from my photos of the library, or are the same.

    Sharing albums and Photo library iCloud iCloud different services and are stored independently from each other.

    When you create a shared album and share with your friends, you will see the shared album and photos in your photo library, but you can remove the originals from your photo library, as long as you do not remove the shared album photos. In the shared album photos can be slightly smaller than your original photos, because there is a limit of size of pixels for shared photos.
