Uploaded photos to icloud photo library, now how can I remove them from iphone

I have finally uploaded all my photos to icloud photo library, however it has still kept them all on phone - granted they are smaller versions and I have some more space but  still want to remove most to make more space - but be safe in the knowledge that they are backup to icloud - a bit like how drop box works. Can anyone tell me how I do this - do I just delete them from iphone, or will that delete from icloud too?
It all seems unnecessarily confusing this icloud photo business.
Thanks
Using iPhone 4s ios 8.1

if you really want to be safe and be for sure that your pictures are saved.
Then import them to your computer Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support  then you can delete it off your phone.

    She can choose to either enable the setting on her iPod to Manually manage music and videos.  With setting enabled she can sync content to her iPod from multiple computers without it affecting whats already stored her iPod. For more information on syncing content to an iPod manually see this article.

    However, I would recommend copying whats on her iPod to her iTunes library first.  There are several ways to accomplish this.  See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to do it.

  • How can i remove them from my purchased(no hidden them)and my account for ever?

    hello

    How can i remove them from my purchased(no hidden them)and my account for ever?
    (I want to delete all free apps and Books from my purchases.)
    please help me
    thank you.

    There is no way to do it. Others have asked for the very same thing that you are asking for, but currently it just cannot be done. You can't remover purchases from your Purchase History - you can hide them - but you can't delete them from the history.
    You can delete the Apps from the iPad and you can delete them from iTunes on the computer. Delete them from iPad, delete them fromiTunes so that when you sync there is no chance that they will come back. Then hide the purchases. That's the best that you can do.
    On the iPad, tap and hold down on the app icons until the X pops up. Tap the X to delete the apps.
    In iTunes, clcik on Apps under the Library heading on the left. Right click on the apps that you want to delete and follow the prompts.

    You have viruses because you jailbroke your phone, and now you're probably spreading them to other phones. Nice.
    Jailbroken phones are generally bricked for good. Throw it away, it's junk.

  • I've had three laptops all connected to my itunes account, one was stolen, the other broke, how can I remove them from my itunes account?

    So, in three years, after getting an iphone and an apple account I've had to replace a laptop twice due to theft or damage. When I link my phone to my new computer, it asks me if I want to connect the computer with the phone and I say yes, but you can only have 5 devices connected to one account, since one was stolen, and the other laptop broke, how do I remove them from my account??

    De-authorise all, then authorise the one you still have.

  • I have two apps on my app store that won't update. I don't need them. How can I remove them from there? Thank you!

    Hey
    I have two apps on my Mac App Store that won't update no matter what I do.
    One of them  is not even mine. It shows a weird russian email address that does not belong to me.
    The other one says "updated" but won't go away from the updates list no matter what I do (Reboots, etc).
    How can I erase them? I need niether apps.
    Thank you very much.
    Instalada = Installed & Actualizar = Update

    Hey!
    There are two things here. The first one is that the apps aren't of course hacked/pirated. The mac is of a friend of mine. She's 65 or something and has no idea on how to hack apps, plus, afaik, nobody else has access to her computer.
    Secondly, the thing is that niether app shows at the app list, and we even made a find from a terminal window, and got no results of the apps.
    It is a very strange behavoir and if somebody has a solution I'll be glad to hear it.
    BTW, She just upgraded her machine to OS X 10.8.1, I'll check if the upgrad fixed the bug.
    Thanks!!

  • I shared too many pix and photos, now how can I delete them from my iPad?

    I shared too many photos and songs on my iPad. How do you delete albums? 

    How did the photos get onto the iPad ? Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it (Edit button on iOS 6) in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from your computer can't be deleted directly in the Photos app - you either need to move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-syncing e.g. to remove a synced folder de-select that folder on the Photos tab and re-sync, to remove all synced photos select and sync an empty folder.  Depending upon what iOS version that the iPad is on, you might be able to delete all synced photos by swiping across the 'Photo Library' line in Settings > General > Usage > Photos & Camera (that should give you a Delete button but I haven't tried tapping it to see if it works).

  • Uploaded tracks to my friend's account using my iTunes player. They showed up in My Music on my own acct. How can I remove them from mine but not his?

    Hi,
    I used my iTunes player to sign into my friend's account and upload a bunch of Cds for him as he has no PC. I then synced the tracks to his iPad. Now, when I sign into my own iTunes account, the songs are there as well. When I delete them from my own list, they are also deleted from his. How can I get the tracks to delete from my own playlist but not his? (NB The iPad and PC are not connected when I do this).
    Thanks

    Put a copy of that music on a second external drive; if desired, then delete it from your iTunes library. The music will remain associated with the original Apple ID; iTunes libraries are separate from iTunes Store accounts.

  • Trying to split large library, I exported a folder of 3000 images to a new library.  The new library was created with these images, but it still remained in the original library.  How can I remove it from the original library while keeping it in the new l

    Splitting a library does not remove the folder I moved from the original library.  I exported a folder of 3000 images from the original library to a new library.  The new libraryb was created alright, but the folder and the 3000 images remain in the original library.  Why? And how do I safely remove them?

    The new libraryb was created alright, but the folder and the 3000 images remain in the original library.  Why? And how do I safely remove them?
    Exporting a library will  create a duplicate of the exported library items. Usually you do this to work on a partial library on another computer and later merge the changed images back. Splitting the library is not the primary purpose of exporting.
    If you want to remove the library items that you exported, select them in the source list of the library inspector and delete them (File > Delete Original Images and all Versions).  Then empty the Aperture Trash, after checking that you did not trash more than you wanted.
    But check, if the backup of your Aperture library is in working condition, and check the exported library carefully, before you do such a massive delete.
