is it possible to delete pictures off I phone while only keeping them inside the cloud

Hi can anyone tell me if you can delete photos from your phone I free up space, but still have them in I cloud, & if so, how?

Thank you Dr. Beat

iCloud is supposed to be a device synchronization and not simply used for external storage.  You can use iCloud photo library to "optimize" the storage space on your iPhone if:

iCloud: use iCloud photo library on your iOS device

Optimization of the storage on your device

When iCloud library is turned on, your device can optimize its storage keeping smaller versions of your photos on the device. All your original high-resolution is stored in iCloud photo library and can be downloaded at any time.

  • Go to settings > iCloud > Photos (or settings > Photos & camera), then click on [device] Optimize storage to activate it.

When your device needs more storage, it automatically replaces certain original high resolution with optimized versions. If you want to replace the optimized with original life-size versions, press download and keep the originals to activate it.

  • Can I delete pictures on my phone after I save up my iCloud account?

    Hi, this is my first post I was hoping that someone could tell me if it is ok to remove my photos from my phone after I have them supported up to iCloud. I'm not sure if they are in two different locations now (a location being my phones memory and the other being on my iCloud) OR if they are one and the same (synchronized)... Could someone clarify this for me please? I'm using an iPhone 6 version 9.2.1 (13D 15) and 27.0 MB of space on the left and used 11.8 GB of storage (mainly of the photos). I just set up my Photos app to automatically download and store my entire library in iCloud, ive checked optimize the storage of the iPhone and tabs on the Upload for my photo stream. When I connect to my account iCloud from a computer, I can see all my photos are appearing on the site to iCloud. Can I now delete it from my phone so that I can free up space?

    Any clarification would be great!

    Thank you!

    No, delete them from your phone also will remove them from the library to iCloud.  If you want to back up and delete from the phone, or import them to your computer or use another cloud of basic service like Dropbox or Flickr.

  • iPhone 6 How to erase pictures off bot phone not cloud... storage problem

    How to delete all my photos my phone is turned off, but NOT out of the cloud... I have an iPhone 6 and have storage problems?

    It's complicated because if you have iCloud photo library, then no matter what in iCloud will always be visible and taking place on your phone.

    The best option is to choose the option 'OPTIMIZE the PHOTOS' in the settings Photos & the phone camera.

    This will keep a smaller version of the photo on your phone with the full version on iCloud.

    If you already have the option optimize running and you are still low on space, so the only thing to do is to delete some that are sitting in iCloud. It will then take even the version optimized on the phone.

  • Is contacts/calendar possible to DELETE an entry about a contact to be displayed in the birthday calendar

    I use my contacts to track an assortment of relatives who I rarely meet.

    I have birthdays entered contacts for many of them, and they appear in the calendar as expected.

    Short of eliminating the birthday came into Contact, is it possible to remove it being included in the calendar?

    Hi William

    As much as I KNOW, birthdays is a parameter all or nothing via the calendar preferences.

    You can open any Contact, you do not want to see their birthday listed and remove the entry from the anniversary. You can also copy and paste the information in the birthday field and add the Notes section in the Contacts application. This will remove it from your calendar but still available to see card Contacts.

    Hope this helps, Greg

    Hello

    Please follow the steps mentioned below and check if it helps.

    Method 1:

    I would recommend you to rebuild the database of Windows Media Player and see if the problem is resolved.

    Here's how:

    To resolve this problem, delete the Windows Media Player database. To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\Media Playerand then click OK.

    c. Select all files in the folder and then click on Delete on the file menu.

    Note: You don't have to remove the folders that are in this folder.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Note: Windows Media Player automatically rebuilds the database.

    Method 2: If this does not resolve the problem, disable the Windows Media Player database cache files.

    To do this, follow these steps:

    a. exit Windows Media Player.

    b. Click Start, run, type %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoftand then click OK.

    c. Select the Media Player folder, and then click on Delete on the file menu.

    d. restart Windows Media Player.

    Method 3:

    When you move digital media files on your computer, the file name and file path information remain unchanged in your library. Then when you select a file to play to its new location, a new entry is created in your library if you select the option automatically added to your library when played. As a result, your library can quickly contain a large number of entries, duplicate or invalid.

    To stop music files to be automatically added to your library.

    a. in Windows Media Player, on the Tools menu, click Options.

    b. on the Player tab, clear the files of music to add to the library when played check box.

    Now, when you play music on your computer or the Internet, the file will not be added automatically to your library.
