How do you delete photos downloaded from the cloud?

I use the library from iCloud, which is large, most often.  Whenever you look at a photo in the library of cloud with an iPhone, said photo is downloaded to the phone.  No problem there until I want to back up the phone on my computer, date at which it can generate a pretty huge backup file.  The majority of what is being backed up as pictures already stored in iCloud, this seems to be a waste.  I'd rather make these go away.  Is this possible?

Only the photos in your camera roll (i.e., those most recent) are part of a backup. Compare the actual size of the backup of the storage used on your iPhone. You should see a big difference between them.

Otherwise, provide more details, so we can best help.

    How do you remove Trojan horse from the Windows\system\svchost.exe file located? I worked on this problem for 5 days. I've tried everything except wipe the hard drive completely and starting over. Windows xp pro sp3

    I bought a new diagnosis program and quarantined the virus once it has been identified. I tried to remove the virus in several ways, but it comes back. The best way that I thought would work enter safe mode and by changing the attributes of the svchost.exe file and then delete and checked the registry AWI hwo to the Web site, but it continues to be problematic.

    During the uninstallation of antivirus/antispyware/security programs always check for an uninstall
    tool and/or removal instructions special to avoid leftovers.

    ------------------------------

    Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)

    Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
    launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
    reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.

    Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
    Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).

    Prevx - Home - free

    Windows Firewall

    Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)

    Protected IE - mode

    IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)

    I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
    (It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
    right of IE)

    Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x

    Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
    Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
    Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
    Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
    disabled - click OK
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download

    Avast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
    and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
    Finish those you don't use).
    http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4

    Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
    http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/

    Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast

    Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
    programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
    or use Google to see how to remove.
    http://www.prevx.com/   <-->
    http://info.prevx.com/downloadcsi.asp?prevx=Y<-->

    Choice of PCmag editor - Prevx-
    http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.asp

    Also get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
    would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
    (not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
    never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

  • How do you delete photos from an iPhone but keep them on a mac

    I want to delete some photos from my iPhone 6 but keep them on my MacBook - how can I do this?

    Hey Jill,.

    This should be possible as long as you do not use icloud photo library.

    With iCloud, photo library, your devices are giving you access to your library, which is stored directly in iCloud. Therefore, when you delete a photo of iCloud photo library on any device, it removes from everywhere.

    When you turn off the iCloud photo library, each device is its own independent photo library. You must manually import pictures from your phone to your MacBook, then you could remove your phone at will.

    If you wish to continue using iCloud photo library, but also want to save space on your phone, consider turning on Optimize iPhone storage in the section Photos to your phone settings iCloud!

  • How do I delete photo files in the 'Gallery', but not under "Camera"?

    I noticed that all the folders in the gallery are my Picasa account online, so I deleted everything on PIcasa and removed from the cache of the Droid. Unfortunately, when I restarted my phone and clicked on the Gallery, the albums are back. It took a while, but all reappeared.  Is it possible that I can delete all albums of my phone?  Thanks for all your help.

    First, make sure that you have removed the shape of Picasa photos.  If they were deleted, then all you need to do is ensure that your synchronization (on the power widget is two arrows forming a circle) is turned on.  Should not be necessary to do anything else... It should be done in 10 minutes.

  • Conflict error when you try to download to the cloud of my tablet of Note

    Make sure that you are connected to creative cloud correctly via the settings icon in the top right of the workspace project selection > my account. (It looks like a gear). One reason, this option is kablooey from time to time.
