HT4847 Can I remove photos from icloud to open up more space?

I would like to move photos from icloud to my backup drive to free up space on icloud!  Is that possible?

The only photos stored on icloud are...
1) photos in the camera roll that are included in a backup to icloud.  But you can turn off backups of such photos.
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage,  tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned OFF if you don't want to store photos in a backup.
2) Photos stored in photo stream.  But these do not count against your storage, so it doesn't matter.
That's it.  There are no other photos on icloud that you can remove.

  • Can't remove photos from album? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

    Can't remove photos from  Aperture album unless I send them to Trash? Photos are stored in their current location, iphoto

    There are only a few images that I want to delete, not entire albums. I want to avoid syncing the iPad with the new computer, but it's looking like that may be my only option...to delete all of the iTunes synced photos then start from scratch since I still have the original images on my backup drive. Maybe send them to myself in email/through dropbox and save that way so in the future I can delete at will.
    I just want to avoid all of that, save myself some time, so I figured I'd do as much asking as possible first.

  • Can't get photos from iCloud onto iPad since updating

    HI guys, not very technical so please bear with me  
    Basically, I updated my iPad software yesterday and all my photos disappeared. So I shared them all again from my iPhone so they would then go back on to my iPad. This worked at first and then stopped working so some photos are on Ipad but not others, and I cannot figure out why or what to do to get my photos from icloud onto my iPad. Anyone know what is wrong or what I can do to fix it?
    thanks in advance for any help  

    Can anyone help? Basically, any photos I send to iCloud are not going to my iPad now since updating. Would appreciate any advice please.
    thanks

  • I can't remove photos from albums in iPhoto 9.4?  Any advice or tricks?

    I can"t seem to be able to remove photos from albums in iphoto 9.4.  Can not move to trash or remove from album, What's up?  Any tricks or advice?

    Make sure those are not smart albums you're trying to remove photos from.  As a test  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    NOTE 2:  In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.

  • How can i remove photos from my photo stream?

    I guess like everyone else I've been messing around with photo stream and adding random pictures to test it out. But I'd like to be able to remove images from photo stream too but for thre life in me I can't find a way to do it. Doe's anyone have any idea/tips? Or has Apple just made a big mistake??
    D.

    Check Pictures>Photo Stream>My Photo Stream.  Note: when you turn it on you will only see photos from the last 30 days as photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days.  If you want to stream older photos to your PC, create a shared photo stream containg the photos and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

  • How can I remove iPhone from iCloud when I no longer have the phone?

    I switched to a Samsung S4 from my old iPhone 4S, but now I can not get text messages from any of my contacts who have iPhones.  One thing I read to do/try was to remove my iPhone from my iCloud, but I no longer have the phone...how can I do this from my iPad?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    iOS has got Messages app, which uses iMessage to send and receive messages. iMessage can only be used in iPhones, iPads, iPods touch and Macs, not on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
    You need an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Mac to remove your iPhone's phone number from Messages. After getting one, open Settings > Messages > Send and Receive, and remove your phone number. After doing this, when one of your contacts choose your phone number in Messages app, it will send a SMS instead of an iMessage

  • How can I remove photos from an album on my iPhone?

    Hey
    I am trying to remove photos on my iphone from an album from but when I remove the photos from the camera roll album they got removed in all the others albums so is htere any way to remove the pics from an album only and not from all the albums?
    Thanks

    No. Albums you create on your phone merely contain pointers to the actual photos in your camera roll, not copies of the photos. If you just want the photos in albums, import the photos from your camera roll, delete them from your camera roll, then sync the albums back to your phone.
