TS4009 How do I delete my pictures in Icloud so that I may put more in without buying more storage?

I would like to delete the pictures in my icloud so that I don't have to buy more storage. Any ideas? I have deleted the extra ones in photo stream

Photo stream photos don't count against your storage so deleting those won't help.  Camera roll photos are included in your iCloud backup, which does use your storage.  To turn these off, go to Setting>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage, tap your device under Backups, then turn Camera Roll to Off under Backup Options.
If you do this you will no longer be backing up your photos to iCloud.  Be sure to import them to your computer for safekeeping so you don't lose them, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

  • HT4915 How to permanently delete a movie from iCloud, so that it can no longer be accessed (not simply hidden)?

    I am looking to remove items from the hidden folder in my iTunes account.
    There is a solution for deleting music, however, a different prompt screen when deleting a movie does not provide the same solution.
    Following is the prompt when deleting a movies
    1st - "Are you sure you want to delete the selected movie from your iTunes library?"
    This movie will also be deleted from any iPod, iPhone, or iPad which synchronizes with your iTunes library. ( - ) Do not ask me again.
    2nd - "Do you want to move the selected movie (which was downloaded from the iTunes Store) to the Trash, or keep it in the iTunes Media folder?"
    Only files in the iTunes Media folder will be moved to the Trash. (Keep File) (Move to Trash)

    Movies are not stored in iCloud. That's the reason you get a different prompt.
    When you delete a movie from iTunes the 1st. option above is on instances where you have the same movie in other mobile devices.
    2nd. option allow you to delete the movie either from iTunes list (Keep File) only or remove from your computer completely (Move to Trash) and from the iTunes too.
    Now, if you purchase a movie from iTune Store you can safetely delete it from your computer (Move to Trash option) and stream it later. (Check this link for how to: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519.)
    Let me know if this help to answer your question.

  • How can i delete a picture from camera roll without deleting everywhere

    how can i delete a picture in camera roll without deleting everywhere

    You can't, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created directly on the iPad then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo and not creating a second copy of it - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore removing it from other albums.

  • How to recover deleted the pictures

    How to recover deleted the pictures. When you change the software iOS6 iOS7 I deleted all the pictures myself and can not leave them back in iTunes

    If you're still in the book mode you can try using the Undo command: Command+Z.  If you're left the book mode I'm not sure you can use it. 
    If you have TM copy of the library just before you deleted the photos from the pages bring that entire library back.  It will have the book in it.  To do so go to you Pictures folder and then enter Time Machine.  Go back to the time just before the deletion took place, select the library and restore.

    Keep Both copies of the library as the current library may have photos that the backup doesn't.

    In addition to johngrussel's suggestion the delete key by itself will run the Remove from Album comand.

  • My ipad 2 pictures were restored using iCloud. How do I delete those pictures from my iPad?

    My ipad 2 pictures were restored using icloud. How do I delete those pictures?

    Photos restored from iCloud are photos in the camera roll, those photos can be removed via the trash can icon. Open the camera roll. Tap on all of the photos that you want to delete, tap the trash can icon in the upper left to get the delete option.
    You can also go through each photo in slideshow mode and tap the trash can icon at the bottom to get the delete option.

    Pictures in Photo Library are synced from your computer and must be deleted from there, followed by re-sync.  Photos in Camera Roll can be deleted from your iPhone directly (tap arrow in top right, tap the pictures you want to delete, press the Delete button).

  • HT4847 How do I delete things from my iCloud?

    Hello, everyone! I need some help, okay so, my iPhone has been acting up lately, I am no longer receiving iMessages, it says it cannot connect to iTunes and YouTube, and I no longer receive push notifications from any of my apps. i figured it is because i need to update the iOS5 for my phone, but I'm not sure. To update the iOS5, i need to backup my phone, which i can't do because my iCloud is full, i was wondering how do you delete things from the iCloud? I have already went through and deleted a great number of pictures from my phone and also apps that i was no longer using. I don't want to lose anything from my phone, but i'm not sure if my iCloud has everything backed-up? Also, could that be the reason to why my phone has been acting up? or could something else be wrong? PLEASE HELP!

    General advice on "slimming" down your device's storage:
    You'd have to go into the various apps on a device that is also stored on iCloud and begin trimming files.
    Backups:
    Go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage; there, tap the device you need info on and the resulting screen lists Backup Options with which apps store data on iCloud.  Turn off camera roll and any other apps that might have a lot of data.  Then delete the backup.  That will free up space.  Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. Go to Settings>iCloud and turn
    Emails:
    Regarding emails, on the computer, move emails from mailboxes in icloud to those on the device.  That can also save a lot of space.
