How to Delete Photos From ICloud

November 6, 2020 by Bryan Davis Leave a Comment

Most iPhone and mac users have this annoying problem “iCloud storage is full”. As iCloud plans are very expensive comparing to other online cloud plans, not everyone can upgrade the storage. But you can simply free up your iCloud storage space by deleting photos and videos you don’t need to keep.

Yes, You can simply clear some space by deleting photos but it depends on the setting you choose for “iCloud Photo Library”

If you are using iOS version 8.9 or a later version, there are two settings for iCloud photo Library

  1. Optimize iPhone storage – The photos are stored in both iCloud and iPhone. You can choose this settings to save your phone storage and if you choose this setting the photos will be stored in the cloud and a optimized version will be stored in iPhone. So if your iPhone is in this setting, You can not delete photos from the iCloud.
  2. Download and Keep originals Setting – If you choose this setting original copies of your photos will be stored both in your iCloud and iPhone storage. So this setting will not optimize your phone storage but whenever you delete the photos from your iPhone, The photos will be also deleted from iCloud
