How do I delete photos and other files from icloud?

I'm very new to Apple and despite what my son says I do not find it intuitive - perhaps that's my age! But I've tried to find the answer to this from Apple Support, but haven't succeeded. Can I manage what is stored in iCloud, in particular, can I delete photos from it?

Just a quick reminder than when you delete items from contacts on your IPAD then they are deleted on all other devices connected through that Apple ID.
It would be good to sort out what you are "syncing" and what you are storing on iCloud.

  • How do I delete Firefox and other files from my MacBook Pro computer

    I want to remove Firefox and all other files that may not be removed from my MacBbok Pro laptop.
    MAcBook Pro, 17inch, 2.4GHZ. Processor 2.6 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.
    PLease tell me how to do this. Thanks.

    I don't know how Firefox installs, but if you just dragged it into the Applications folder, you can drag it to the Trash and empty it.
    If it had an installer, then you need to use the uninstaller provided by the developer.
    What are the other "files that may not be removed?" It doesn't sound like much of a good idea.

  • HT3702 Why can't I download my already purchased music and other files from iCloud, even though I owe money to iTunes for my most recent purchases.  Doesn't seem right that they keep me from accessing those files which I've already paid for!

    - Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    - Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
    - Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
    If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

  • Does anyone know how I can copy photo and video files from the Photo's app on my Macbook, to a USB stick or other external back-up?

    I've updated the software on my Macbook to the most recent version; regretting it now; and iPhoto has now become the Photo's app.
    The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
    I could easily do this with iPhoto, but now Photos app does not let me copy the files when I select them.
    Does anyone know if there's a way to save, copy or back-up my photo's and video files: prefreably one that doesn't involve iCloud, as I don't feel like paying for more storage; there must be some way to access those photos/videos from my iPhone to save on another source?

    The problem is I can no longer back up my photo and video files taken on my phone, saved to my mac, by copying them and saving them on a USB stick or other external hard drive.
    Select the photos and videos in Photos and use the command "File > Export"  and select a folder on your USB stick to save the photos to.

  • HT1766 Recovering deleted photo and video files from iPhone4S

    I accidently restored my iPhone4S and deleted my photos and videos. I was in the process of uploading these files to my newly created iCloud account using iTunes, but during the early stages of the process the phone OS locked.  The only choice I was given was to restore and I chose to do so thinking that some of the media had been uploaded to iCloud. Is there any way that I can recover the deleted files?

    Without a backup there is nothing to restore.
    iTunes has nothing to do with uploading content to iCloud.

  • How can I delete photos and or albums from my iphone without having to delete them in all locations?  I have some pictures in an album that i want to remove them from but when I try it asks do I want to delete picture  from all loc

    I have pictures in albums on my iphone.  I want to delete them from one album but when I try it asks to delete the picture from all locations.  I only want to delete it from 1 album.  Is this possible to do?

    You can delete photos from individual albums but not from the camera roll.  If you try to delete a photo from camera roll it will be deleted from all other albums ("locations") that contain the photo.  This is because the actual photo is in the camera roll (the albums only contain links to the photo in camera roll, not the actual photo).

  • Removing Duplicate photos and other files from Backup HD

    Hi I have a macbook air with USB and Thunderbolt ports. I connect them to a 200GB Maxtor external harddrive via USB
    The HD seems to have created duplicates of many of my files. How can i remove the duplictaes from my HD?
    Thanks - Pete

    Time Machine store backups of all data on your computer.
    Changes to files are stored, so if required, you can revert to previous versions.
    Once the disk fills with data, old backups are deleted to make room for the newer.
    So Time Machine automatically manages the disk.

  • How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name, and no trash can icon appears below most of the pictures the computer just put on my new iPhone 4.

    How do I delete photos and photo albums from my iPhone 4? The instructions given do not work. No "delete" symbol appears next to the album name when I press "Edit," and no trash can icon for me to click appears below most of the individual photos in the albums the computer just loaded on my new iPhone 4. When I synced the new phone the computer added these photo albums without permission from me. They are now taking up about 3 GB of memory on my phone. I would like very much to get rid of these photos from the phone. How do I do this?

    To delete photos from your device
    In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
    Choose "Sync photos from."
    On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
    On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
    Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
    Click Apply.

    Yes you can. In iPhoto create a Album with the photos you want in it. You can drag them from your Events folder. In iTunes with your iPad connected go to Photos by cliking on your iPad. You can then select the album or events you want.

  • HT204053 hi , i want to see all my photos and other throo the icloud in the computer how i can do it ?

    hi , i want to see all my photos and other throo the icloud in the computer how i can do it ?

    Well, the obvious advice is to restore your mac's backup to the new drive - I assume you've been using Time Machine.
    If you haven't been backing up the mac, then ...
    For photos, sync the iphone to the mac vis iTunes/USB and get the photos back into iPhone on the mac.  Getting back the itunes is another problem.  You can look for mac apps that read an iOS device and copy songs to the mac.  But that won't get back all the other information that iTunes used to have.  Again, only a backup would restore all that data.  As for purchased items from the iTunes store, use the mac and connect to the store via itunes and check the purchased tab or link.  There you can redownload all purchased music and other items.

  • How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    How can I delete videos and other things uploads to icloud ?

    If these are purhased movies they are not stored in your iCloud account and cannot be deleted.  They are stored in the iTunes store.  What you are seeing are links to your previously purchased movies, allowing you to redownload them.
    If you don't want to see these in the Videos app, go to Settings>iTunes & App Store and turn Videos off under Show All.
