How to: Delete photos from iCloud

Advertisement

iCloud‘s photo sharing option is a great service.  You take a photo on one device, and have it show up on another (such as an iPhone to an iPad).  To do this, all devices (iOS and Macs) have to be signed in to iCloud using the same Apple ID.  The photo sharing option will save the photos in the “cloud” for 3o days, then they will get auto deleted.

But sometimes, you want to delete those photos before the 30 day period.  It’s simple to do:

1.  Go to iCloud.com
2.  Login with your normal username and password.
3.  In the upper-right corner will show your username.  Click on it.
4.  A window will pop-up with more options.
5.  Click on the Advanced option.
6.  The next screen will give you the option to delete the photos from the Cloud. *

* You should save the photos you wish to keep in iPhoto before doing the above.

That’s it.  🙂
