Deleting photos from photostream

Prior to Yosemite I could delete photos from my camera roll and they would remain in photo stream (or "iCloud" when working with the computer vs the iPhone). I liked that option, but now when I delete a photo from camera roll, it also deletes it from photo stream. Is this the new default? Is there a setting I can change?

This is screenshot when thumbnail is tapped. There's the edit button! But...
There's NO delete button. Can't even delete them one at a time

PhotoStream is purely a conduit for transferring pictures added to or taken on one device onto all the others seamlessly. Photos are held there only for 30 days. There is no way of accessing, viewing or deleting individual photos; you can reset the entire Photostream, erasing everything.

3.2.3 Update To delete photos from photostream

All the software is updated. Aperture 3.2.3. iOS 5.1.
Aperture updates suggests that you can delete photos from photostream and it will delete the same pictures on all devices.
I can delete the pictures, but it doesn't delete the pictures on my other devices.
Any suggestions?

As Clem says... but if that doesn't fix everything, some people have had to go to iCloud.com and clear the Photo Stream (you can only clear the whole thing there). But if you need to do this, first make sure all your Photo Stream images are saved somewhere. You can add them back once you've cleared it.
This ApertureExpert thread describes what I'm talking about.

I can't delete photos from photostream

I'm totally freaking out because I have some really BAD photos on my photostream. I don't even know how they got there. I deleted them from my computer soon after uploading them and I deleted them from my camera, but when I try to delete them from my photostream by selecting a photo and then hitting "delete" I just get an error beep. No message, no disappearring photo, nothing. What is wrong? I don't have any other photostream enabled devices.

Kari,
what is your MacOS X version and iPhoto version?
If you cannot delete photos from the iLifeAssetManagement folder, then you have a permissions problem. You should be able to do that. Try to fix the permissions for that part of your User Library.
Navigate again to the iLifeAssetManagement folder as described above. Then select the Folder and press ⌘I (clover leaf, capital letter I) for "Get Info". You shoud see an ifo panel like this:
Disclose the "Sharing & Permissions" brick by pressing the disclosure triangle. Press the padlock in the lower right corner and enter your administrator password. Make sure your user account .....(Me) has Rad &Write permissions, change the permissions if necessary. Then click the padlock and select to apply to enclosed items.
Then try again, if you now can delete photos from the Stream.
Regards
Léonie

Deleting photo from photostream = gone from my PC?

1. If I delete a photo from my Photostream album on my iPhone or iPad, will it delete it from the Photostream directory on my PC?
2. If I delete or move a photo from the Photostream directory on my PC, will it delete it feom all my iOS devices?
3. What happens to photos in the Photostream on my iOS devices after 30 days? Does it dissappear from my iOS devices?
If "yes", then will it dissappear from the Photostream directory on my PC too after 30 days?
Thanks.
Any document that describes these sync behaviors?

Now you've taught me something!! I just tested and you are correct.
#2 I tested and the answer is still NO.
#3 I've got pics in my photostream album on my iPhone that are more than a year old.
My original understanding of how this worked was from the first link I sent you:
Master photo library. On your Mac or PC.
Keeping a complete set of your photos on your Mac is as simple as turning on Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture. Every new photo you take appears in a Photo Stream album just as it does on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. But since your Mac has more storage than your iOS device, it automatically imports every picture from your Photo Stream into your photo library so you can edit, delete, and share the ones you want. Want to get the photos you’ve taken on your point-and-shoot or DSLR camera into your Photo Stream to view on all your other devices? The photos you import to your library from a camera or SD card are automatically uploaded to your Photo Stream. If you have a PC, you can auto-import and upload pictures, too. Just turn on Photo Stream, grab a camera, and start shooting.

HT204022 Is it possible to delete photos from my photo stream on my iphone 4s without deleting them from my computer?

I want to delete photos from my photo stream on my iphone 4s but I don't want the photos to get deleted from my computer. Is that possible or not?
Thanks in advance!

Hi amz743,
They will be deleted from the PhotoStream folder in iPhoto, but if you have sync'd them then they will still be there in your Events or whatever new Folder you may have created for them. Also, deleting photos from PhotoStream does not delete those same photos from your Camera Roll, so either way, you will still have them.
Or, conversely, if you are asking if you would need to delete them from both PhotoStream and iPhoto (if they have aleady been sync'd), then yes, you would need to delete them from both places. PhotoStream is a separate entity from your actual photos that get sync'd.

I deleted photos from my Iphone5 using the 'internal storage' in windows with the phone plugged in. Why are all the photos still in photostream when they don't show up as a file in windows anymore?

Hi all,
I plugged in my phone, went to my computer, iphone, storage, and deleted photos from there. But in my phones photostream, they are still there. Why is that?
Cheers

I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

I don’t understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon). They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.) But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone? I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
Help!

I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1. Catch 22. This is basically a storage issue, I believe. I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7. I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need. But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that. I synch my phone and computer. I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone. I seem unable to do that. Any advice?

Deleting photos from the camera rol but not from photostream

When deleting photos from the camera rol, sometimes the delete action triggers the deletion of the photo in the photostream as well, sometimes not. What triggers this and how to prevent the photo to be deleted from the photostream as well ?

HT204022 When a photo that is included in photo stream is deleted from cameraroll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photostream too, shouldn't it? How do I delete a bad photo from camera roll and photo stream? I have to delete it twice???

80% percent of photos we take are bad photos, we delete them later when reviewing them. Now the photos are in both camerroll and photostrean. When we delete them from the camera roll they do not get deleted from photo stream, when I delete them from photo stream they do not get deleted from camera roll.
I want to keep good photos only in both photo stream and camera roll. How do I do it? Delete them twice?? What a waste of time.
When a photo is deleted from camera roll it should ask whether we want to delete it from photo stream too. Otherwise photo stream is useless.I remove bad photos from camera roll but they all stay in the photo stream ...

Hi JM,
Even 20 days later, the answer is the same.....you have to delete photos from them individually - they are kept in separate places, so you have to delete them from both if you don't want them. However, photostream will, eventually, "delete" the bad photos, since it only keeps up to 1000, and then starts overlaying the oldest ones....
Sorry....
