How to delete photos in disabled iCloud library

I asked few days ago in the iCloud forum help with photos reappearing in the iCloud Photos app and unable to reduce the size of my library. (post HT204410) So far no suggestions and today I tried to start from scratch and delete all. However I ran into other issues and hope this Photos forum can provide solutions:
1) I disabled the iCloud Photos Library option on iPhone, iPad and iMac. There were >3000 photos and videos in the library
2) Using iCloud via Safari webbrowser there is a message displayed that iCloud Photo Library has been disabled and that I have 30 days to download my pictures.
3) I do have copies and just want to delete all in the iCloud Photo Library using the Safari browser.  However when I select photos the option to delete is greyed out?  (see picture below)
Question 1: Is there any way I can fully delete the iCloud Photo Library faster?
4) I created a new Photos system library (using the <option> key at start up) and in the Photos preference made this the new system library.
5) When I connect my iMac again to the iCloud Photo Library with this empty library it download all the photos I also can see in the browser.
6) Both in the webbrowser and on the iMac the message that the iCloud Photos library is disabled remains even after connecting them again. It shows in red in the system preference panel for iCloud (with the library ticked on? - picture below)) and in the preferences with the Photos app on the iMac (Yosemite 10.10.3) , but with different number of days remaining (29 vs 30)?). I can not find the option to cancel this deletion from the iCloud preferences.
Question 2: Anyone able to advise were to find this cancellation option?
6) When I delete pictures on the iMac in the Photos app these are not synced with the iCloud Photos Library, at least in the browser no updates are happening ( and also still cannot delete any of the pictures...
Conclusion: I have not been able to rectify the problem, but have made it worse with a disabled iCloud Photos Library that populates a new library created on the iMac, but does not respond to changes.
Anyone who can help much appreciated.
Thanks, Henk

If you mean Photo Stream, just go to icloud.com, log in, click on your name in the upper right, click on advanced, and then choose reset Photo Stream.  That removes all photos stored there.

    How do I delete photos in the icloud and have them stay gone!

    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 to delete photos from photo library iphone4s?

    Nope I am using the same Photo Library, not the camera roll and by the looks of it you don't have your iphone updated to the newst version because I have an extra field in the bottom bar for photostreaming.
    When I go in any of the above folders I can remove pictures as well as you can see in the pictures below!?
    Hope this helps...

    Connect your device to your computer, open iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck the folder containing the photos you want to remove (or to remove them all, uncheck "Sync Photos"), then click Apply at the bottom to sync your device.  If you only want to remove individual photos rather than the entire folder, move them out of the folder on your computer, then sync.

  • HT4236 how do i delete photo's in my library on my ipad?  i imported them from my itouch.

    How do i delete photo's in my library on my ipad?  Delete shows up in red and will not let me select it.  I imported the photos to my computer then to my ipad via itunes.

    How?
    I am travelling for 5 weeks from hotel to hotel relying on wifi for internet access for my iPad.
    There are no computers to use to access iTunes.
    I bought a wifi hard disk as a back up for the multitude of photos I have taken both by the iPad and my camera.
    So the idea is to load from the SD card to the iPad, transfer to the HDD and/Dropbox and then delete from iPad, leaving the original copy on the SD card and a back on either or both the HDD and Dropbox.
    I can backup and delete photos from the camera role.
    I can import the photos from the cameras SD card using the apple dongle to my iPad but these do not become part of the camera roll.
    I can then back up to either or both the wifi hard disk or Dropbox
    BUT, once I have backed them up I can not remove them from the iPad.
    The result is that the iPad got fuller and fuller, I had to delete all my music, all the videos I had loaded to watch when there was no English TV until my iPad got too full so for the last couple of weeks there has been no backups at all except for camera roll to dropbox.

  • How do i restore deleted photos from my icloud?

    How do I restore deleted photos from my icloud account?

    If the photos were in your camera roll album when you last backed up to iCloud you could recover them by restoring to your backup.  If you want to do this, restoring to an iCloud backup has to be done in the initial setup process.  If you have any data on your phone now that is not in the backup that you want to save you'll need to do that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  You will then go through the setup screens as you did when the phone was new. When given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup (see image below).  Be sure you are connected to wifi and your charger as this will take some time to finish.
