How to make photos of iCloud backup without keeping them on your phone?

I want all my photos and videos saved on my iCloud account.  But once they are saved, I want to delete it from my phone.  Is this possible?  When I turn the iCloud library in my settings, it adds to my phone ALL the photos on my drive to iCloud.

Also, where are my photos in my iCloud drive?  When I go to my iCloud app, I see only documents.

I take more than 1,000 photos per month so that ends up being a big problem for me.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

First question - simple answer, no, you cannot delete the pictures from your device once it is in iCloud.  iCloud is not designed as a traditional backup solution, but rather a synchronization solution, i.e. all sync perfectly on all your devices.

If you want to save space on your device, consider using the iPhone Optimize storage under settings option > iCloud > Photos.  Alternatively, if you consider that a traditional cloud database backup solution, consider using a third party such as Flickr, Dropbox or Google Photos option.

Second question - your photos will not be accommodated in iCloud drive.  It will be separate to the title of the Photos app.

Good luck.

  • How to make changes to existing configurations without quisceing

    Hi gurus B2B.

    How to make changes to existing configurations without quisceing and deployment of retirement?

    Its a production server, my project went live, a few weeks before. After two weeks my ISP asked me to change the delimiter setting of * to,.
    I then to the deployment, Quisced tab, retired, purge the existing configurations, and then I did the changes, approved the agreement and TP and recreated the (config) deployment even once, it happened successfully, but WE are unable to see the old transactions.

    Could someone help me how to make any changes without purging,

    If we simply pull out, wiothout purge, it shows error that name already exists.

    Concerning
    Suni

    Hi Suni,

    In B2B of Oracle 10g, it is mandatory. You must transfer the configuration (after quisceing and retirement) each time you make any change in the configuration.

    but WE are unable to see the old transactions.

    Once an old configuration gets served, messages related to it would not be included in the report, but they must exist in the DB tables. You can take an export (from the console) to the existing messages each time before you purge the old configuration to keep a backup copy of copy paper.

    If we simply pull out, wiothout purge, it shows error that name already exists.

    Two configurations with the same name cannot co-exist, and whence this error.

    Kind regards

    My photos

    How to delete photos in "My pictures", without reproducing again and again... as hundreds of each photo?

    Unwanted copies have file names with
    copy "prefix of"?

    Example: Copy of IMG_1455.JPG

    If_yes_maybe the following tutorial, I wrote
    for XP offers a few ideas:

    Here's how to reproduce the unwanted
    copy of...

    Hold down your CTRL key and select multiple files...

    Place your pointer over the selected group
    (holding the key ctrl) and left click / drag
    the group even just the slightest bit... now
    release the mouse button.

    Oooops... multiple copies...

    Maybe the following will help:

    Sometimes most of the person who
    trying to select multiple by holding the CTRL
    or the SHIFT key down while clicking on the left to select the
    image files.

    Copies are created when you are unable to
    completely release the mouse button before
    you move the pointer to another file. When a group
    the selected file is dragged... even the slightest
    release the mouse button will produce a bit...
    copies of all the files previously highlighted.

    It's a little easier if you have your folder
    Options set at single click... that way you can
    select/deselect a file with just a mouse more
    and you don't have to click. For multiples you
    I have to keep... CTRL or Shift.

    Do not click on... no slip... no copy... maybe that of
    your solution. To adjust the click...
    Open a folder and go... Tools / folder
    Options / General tab... Check... 'single click '.
    To open an item"/ apply / OK.

    If you want to delete all the files in a folder
    You can try the following:

    Reach... Edition / select all... or type... CTRL / has...

    With all of the files selected... go... Drop / delete...
    or press your delete key... or... click on the
    Group and choose 'delete '.

    How do I find and remove unwanted 'copies '.
    of your image files.

    Open the folder that the images are saved in and
    on the left, click on the button 'Search' in your toolbar.

    (If you view the files from a montage
    program and do not know where the record is... right
    Click on one of the image files and the menu...
    choose... Properties. The path to the folder will be
    in the tab 'General' to 'Place').

    In the research pane select... "All files and folders".

    In the "All or part of the file name" field. Come in...

    a copy of

    Now... on the left, click on the search"" button.

    When the search is complete... go to... Edition / select all...

    Then go to... Remove / delete.

    You will see a dialog box asking if you are sure
    you want to delete the files, click Yes.

    Now... on the left, click on the 'Back' button in your toolbar.

    Now the remaining files should be your originals.

    If you delete the wrong files... recover from
    your basket now.
