    Hello, I have an iphone 6 and I have a backup to icloud. I need to free up space on my iphone, I noticed when I delete a photo on my phone its disappear automatically icloud. Is there a way to remove photos from the phone, but keep about icloud?

    Thank you!

    iCloud Libray Photo is not a backup service; It is a synchronization service. Whatever you do a device is synchronized with all other devices, including your computer and iCloud. That's how it was designed to work.

    If you are running out of storage space on your device, choose to use a local library optimized photos. This will dynamically adjust the size of the library based on how much storage is available.

    Otherwise, you will need to disable iCPL and return to the management of your image sync via iTunes.

    Hey Jill,.

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

    Do not delete any photo you want on any of your devices, if you use iCloud photo library.  To win the storage on your iPhone select "optimize storage. Then the photos on your iPhone will be reduced in the size of the file, but you need an internet connection if you want to see the full versions.

    If you want less photos on your iPhone to your Mac, do not use iCloud photo library.  Select only 'My Photo Stream' transfer photos from your iPhone to your Mac or use a USB connection. My photo stream is more economic, in any case, because it's free. iCloud library uses the iCloud paid storage and only 5 GB are free. If your photos need more storage, you will need a paid subscription.

    If you want to turn off iCloud photo library, be sure to disable 'optimize storage"before do you. Wait for the full versions to download again to iCloud.

  • How to remove photos from the iPhone SE

    July 2016

    Computer: iMac running OSX 10.11.5 El Capitan

    Phone: iPhone SE

    Buy the new iphone SE.  All properly transferred from old phone, via iCloud, but the new phone memory is almost full, and I need to remove about 300 photos.

    I plugged the phone on my Mac with the USB cable.  The phone does NOT appear as a disk in the Finder, as said the seller of phone.

    I was able to import all the photos to the Mac with picture Capture and preview, so the pictures are safe, but neither app shows a way to remove photos from the phone.

    'Image Capture help' and several items of third say there are buttons on the bottom of the screen to Capture of Image for "show thumbnails in a list (list view button) or to see large thumbnails (thumbnail view button), or to turn (rotation) or delete (delete key) images."

    NOT TRUE.

    The other buttons appear, but not the button 'delete '.

    I used an extract for years, and it does not remove images.

    So how to delete photos from my iPhone SE?  Do I have to look at all the pictures of 300 and delete each individually?

    You can delete several photos at the same time on the iPhone.

    If you have iCloud library active on your and your iPhone photos sync iCloud and from there will to all your devices.

    If you do not want to synchronize on your iPhone photos, clear the iCloud photo library, but do not allow to delete photos from iCloud, or they will be removed the Mac as well.  With the removal of your iPhone, wait until all iCloud photo options have been disabled.
