How do I Delete Photos from the Cloud?

If I delete a picture in the new Photos app on my Mac is it then deleted from the cloud, too?   This is the behavior I would prefer.  
I know that is not the case if I delete from my iPad, which makes sense because of it's limited storage capability.
But I see my Mac as the master controller.  I get the feeling that even if I delete it from my Mac it is still in the cloud.
Does anybody know?

Well, I can answer my own question.       I did an experiment and deleted two pictures from Photos on my Mac and then I logged into the iCloud via Safari and checked to see if they had been deleted from the iCloud, too, and they had.   Hooray!

    Hey linsfrombrandon,
    The closest you will get to have your photos live in iCloud and not taking as much storage space on your iPhone is by using iCloud Photo Library. What it does is makes your Photos live in iCloud but also appear on your iPhone and other iOS devices and computers. It will be the exact same so any changes will be reflected everywhere. When they are on your iPhone, there is an option to use a compressed version. Take a look at the FAQs page and let me know if you have any other questions before making this decision to turn this on. I would also make sure that you have a safe copy of your photos before moving forward.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • How do I delete files from the cloud

    I have numerous back issues of The New Yorker as well as old videos that are automatically stored on icloud from my ipad. I want to delete them from the cloud to free up storage space. How do I do this?

    Hi jane roth,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    Each magazine you purchase from Newsstand is considered it's own app.   You should be able to control within the app (magazine) which individual issues you wish to keep.  If you look at your Usage on your iPad ( Settings > General > Usage) you can see how much total data a particular magazine is using.  If you delete the app, you would delete all of the data associatied with it.  Here are a couple of articles that explain these options in more detail:

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1867
    For your photos and videos, I would suggest importing them to your computer, confirming they transferred completely, then deleting from your iPad. This will reduce the amount of space needed in iCloud.

  • How do you delete photos from the ipad?

    how do you delete photos from ipad!

    Deleting Photos from iPad: Faced withthis problem, I looked for and found that a few other people werealso worried about it. I use Windows XP Professional and have an iPad2 (16GB).
    Deleting photos from the iPad turnedout to be quite easy after I connected the iPad to the PC with theUSB Cable. Using My Computer (in Windows Explorer) on the PC, I founda graphic showing a camera and a PC after clicking on the iPad 2. Allthe photos and videos in the iPad (not resident in any special apps)were displayed. Just to be safe, I first copied all photos, and videoclips, from iPad to a specially created folder on the PC. After thatit was easy to select all files on the iPad with CtlA and deletethem. I could have deselected any of them by Ctl and left click, if Ihad wanted to retain any on them on my iPad.
    Earlier I had downloaded a PhotoTransfer app. This did not help in deleting but was nice for WiFitransfers of photos, especially between the iPad and the iPod. But Inow see better options for the same $2.99 price.
    The app I would recommend is PhotoManager Pro by Linkus. It promises to do every action you may needrelated to handling photos on the iPad. But if you are an inveteratePicasa user, you could consider the $3.99 app Web Albums for iPad - APicasa Photo Viewer, Uploader, and Manager By Scott Sykora.
    In short, not just deleting photos butmanaging them in various ways on the iPad has now become easy. Goodluck with your handling of it!
