How do I Delete pictures from iCloud for no reason other than I don't want them

I have an iPhone and when I take a picture it goes immediately to iCloud and now I can't Delete it like I used to before icloud. All I had to do was click on the garbage can and then Delete and it was gone but not now. I can't delete anything after I've taken the picture and I have several pictures I no longer want or need. How can I Delete these pictures PLEASE?
I'm sorry if this has been done wrong but I don't know much about computers.

You can't because the actual photo is in camera roll. The albums only contain links to the photos. If you delete the photo from camera roll it will be gone from your phone and therefore also removed from any albums that contain links to it.

How can i delete pictures from iCloud?

i need to delete some pictures from my icloud back up, but i can find a way to do it , can someone show me how to, with out erasing the whole back up?

The Photostream is a really nice new feature with iCloud. However, it isn't perfect. My main issue with it is that there is no way to control what gets synced to your other devices. For instance, every image that gets shot with or saved to your iPhone, goes right to the Photostream. Once on the Photostream, it goes directly to my other devices. Sometimes, I save a photo to my camera roll, or take a screen shot, and sometimes I shoot a really bad photo that is too dark or all blurry. I usually delete these from my camera roll, but that has no effect on what gets sent to the Photostream. Once an image hits the camera roll, it automatically goes to the Photostream. This is an issue when I go to my other devices, such as my Macbook Pro and Aperture, where it automatically shows up on my Photostream there, and worse, if I have it set to automatically import, those (unwanted) images go right into Aperture. Of course I can delete them there, but it all makes for extra work. At the same time, I guess I don't have to keep the Photostream on, but that solves nothing and then doesn't give me access to my photos in the cloud.
I'd like to see an option that would allow you to pick and choose what gets sent to the Photostream. That way, I could shoot pictures with my iPhone, go through them, delete the ones I don't want, and then beam the ones I do want to keep to the Photostream. This would be much more logical and efficient for someone like me.
I may be in the minority on that, and I do see positives to having everything go to the Photostream automatically in that sometimes you delete an image that you then want back, and this does give you an instant backup mechanism, even if only during the duration of the 1000 photo limit (which is more than enough to make a decision on individual photos).
The system isn't perfect though, because for every lousy and unwanted photo that goes to my Photostream, it is potentially kicking out a great and wanted image. All-in-all, I keep my master images in Aperture stored on an external drive, and then backed up on multiple other drives, so it isn't as though I'm losing any images, but still... I guess you can't really treat the Photostream like an album. It is a fleeting album if anything. 1000 images is a lot, but I think it would be better if Apple increased that amount.
Anyway, all food for thought.

Welcome to the Apple community.
When you delete the account from your device, you will be given the opportunity to save Safari data, reminders, calendars and contacts to your device, which you can later merge with the other account once you login.
You won't be able to save your photo stream photos in the same way, so if you have any photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll, you should move them there before you delete your account.
Your iWork documents can be saved to iTunes on your device, but if you have them on a Mac they would be much easier to save to your desktop there. You can move them back after you switch.
Notes can be shared to messages or mail and copy and pasted back after the switch. Although if you have a Mac, you may find it easier to do there. You could also use a temporary secondary account (see last item) to log into both accounts and copy and paste directly into your other account.
You can set up Mail forwarding at iCloud.com mail preferences (little gear icon-bottom left) to receive mail from your old address to your new one.
As an alternative to just switching, you might consider switching and adding your previous account back as a secondary account at settings > mail, contacts, calendars. You would still need to move your photos and iWork documents and save your safari data, but you'd have access to your old mail, contacts, calendars, reminders and notes.

How do I delete movie from iCloud on my iPad

How do I delete movies from iCloud on my iPad

That's a big fat lie, I have 10 movies via digital copy and takes 0 space from my icloud backup. & we have 5 devices backup to my icloud account AND I have my backup storage to basic 5GIGS. So right there you say to make you pay more storage is a BIG FAT LIE. Our devices contains 8-64GB's and everything fits in a 5gigs space.
You might as add well the apps accounts for space to. WRONG!!
Those apps are in your account but not in your storage, the iTunes App Store part, doesn't even add to your icloud storage. Your backup contains the save files, network routers you connected in the past plus the small layout how you customized it over your home page.
That part takes small kb of space needed to save all that.
Movies on your device will take storage but if it's NOT on your device, IT WONT!
Like I said, once it's added to the account via key from the case to your account, stays tie to your account & will NOT take space from your icloud backup storage.
And don't even forgt that I have 5 device from my family with 10 digital copies on one storage with 5gigs and have 800's MB left. We use our photo/videos we took from camera to a remote secure site onto our computers.
Simple as that, if you don't listen to that then I feel sorry for you not listening.
But your not gonna get any other answers besides logging out what I said months back. GOOD DAY!
Ps. If there were, you've been already got an answer besides mine. Go ahead and waist your life lookn for an answer which doesn't have an answer to other than that what I said.
And yes, that's what I meant JJorvath. Hide it but will not get off your account bc it's not part of icloud backup.

How can I delete pictures from my moments off the new IOS8

How can I delete pictures from my moments off the new IOS8 when it doesnt give me the option to delete the photo itself? The icon of the trash doesnt appear what so ever. This is the only thing im dissapointed in the IOS8 update. Theres not even a camera roll where you can delete the photo like the IOS7

Try this:
1. Start from the homescreen of your Iphone/pod (for dummies: where all of your "apps" are).
2. Look for an app on your homescreen titled "Photos", when you find it - Click it.
3. When the app opens, go ahead and look towards the bottom of your phonescreen.
     You should see a navigation with three different options;
       "Photos", "Shared" & "Albums"; Why don't you just go ahead and click on "Albums", there we go - Very nice!
4. On the next screen that appears, it should display your different albums.
     Look for "Recently Deleted", and when you find it - Click on it.
       It should be on that list somewhere (or there's a problem!).
5. Now you should see a screen displaying all of the recent photos you've deleted.
     The term we know as "recent" to iOS is thirty days (that's 720 hours in people-time!).
       You will have to click to each individual photo, however at the bottom left-hand cornor of every photo take notice of the 'Delete' option.
You're welcome.

My storage is almost full on iphone. How do I delete photos from icloud?

You can just tap Delete Back Up, you don't need to turn off iCloud.
Deleting the backup only permanently deletes the backup from iCloud. It doesn't do anything the the data currently on your phone. You will want to create a new backup as soon as possible after doing this, however, as you won't have one until your do. You can either intiate this manually to create one immediately by connecting your phone to your charger and to wifi, then going to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup and tapping Back Up Now at the bottom (this will take some time to complete the first time), or you can just connect it to your charger and wifi before you go to bed and it should back up automatically (and continue to do so once daily).
You don't need to manually connect your phone to your computer to back up to wifi, but it's a good idea to create a second backup using iTunes occasionally in case your iCloud backup ever fails (I do this weekly). To do this, connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now. (Your phone will continue to automatically back up to iCloud daily; this is just a second, manual backup, on your computer.)
