We need to delete some student accounts and then have them rejoin. How do we do this?

After signing up, we realized that our students had to get a confirmation email. And we don't allow them to receive external email. So after allowing it, we need to delete their accounts and start over. How do we delete the account?

The answer is not simple. First, are these images in the Camera Roll or the Photos app? Next, do you have Photo Stream enabled? Also, do you back up your phone to your computer or to iCloud, or to both?
If you have Photo Stream enabled then the images have already been distributed to anyone who is subscribed. Nothing that I can think of that you can do about that. The rest of this post assumes that Photo Stream was never turned on.
If the images are in your Camera Roll you can delete them from the Camera app. The won't go anywhere, however, they will still be in your backups.
If you back up to your computer using iTunes you can go to iTunes Preferences, Devices tab, and delete your backups. After deleting all of them, and also after you have deleted the images from the Camera Roll, do a new backup.
After deleting the backups do a Secure Delete of deleted files on your computer. On a Mac you can do this with Disk Utility; have it erase deleted files. On Windows you need to get a 3rd party "shredder" app.
If you back up to iCloud on the phone go to Settings/iCloud - Storage & backup - Manage Storage. Tap on each backup and delete it.
If you have photos in the Photos app that are NOT in the Camera Roll album you need to connect your phone to iTunes, click on the Photos tab, uncheck all of them that you don't want (or uncheck Sync Photos if you want all of them gone), then sync.
Then repeat all of the steps above.

  • For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    For the last month or so my icloud won't back up, it keeps telling me that there is too much storage and I need to delete some data. But I have deleted between 3-400 photos and it is still saying the same, can anyone please help

    If they were deleted from your camera roll that should have resulted in a corresponding decrease in the estimated size of your next backup.
    If it's still saying that you don't have enough storage to back up, read through this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.  It provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage, such as deleting unneeded email. 
    The other area to look at is your text messages.  These are included in the backup.  If you have lots of photos and videos attached to your messages, that can significantly increase the size of your backup.  If that's the case, deleting these may make a big difference.

    Delete the Gmail SMTP server, then pick the correct SMTP server for the account that you are using.
    Mail>Preferences>Accounts>Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP): expand the dropdown next to the label and delete the incorrect server, then pick the correct server and check the box that says "Use Only This Server"

  • I Deleted my icloud account and then deleted a game for space I then downloaded it again and all data was lost but I have an itunes backup on my pc before all data was deleted can I restore my ipad to that date and get my data back the game is deerhunter

    So on Deer Hunter 2014 I had all my data but before that I changed my apple id email so I deleted my old icloud and logged in again. So after that I deleted Deer Hunter 2014 for some temporary space and then redownloaded it again, all my data was gone and I was back to the beggining but before this incident I backed up my Ipad on itunes on my pc. Can I use this backup to restore my data to that point in time if not is there a way I can (I did not purchase anything in the game so I cant restore purchases).
    Thanks in advanced

    Its solved I just restored it to that point

  • HT4436 How can I change my Icloud account's name? Do I need to delete the old account and create a new one? And all this without loosing my data...

    I want to create a new email address/additional cloud account and move all my data to the new acccount. How can I do it?

    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn all data that is syncing with iCloud (contacts, calendars, etc.) to Off.  When prompted choose to keep the data on the iPhone.  After everything is turned off, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Next, set up a new iCloud account using a different Apple ID and turn iCloud data syncing for contacts, etc. back to On.  When prompted, choose Merge.  This will upload the data to this new account.
    This will not move your photo stream, however.  If you have photos in photo stream that you haven't backed up anywhere else you will need to save these before deleting the account.  If your computer is syncing with your iCloud account, your can photo stream photos directly to your computer.  If not, open your photo stream album on your iPhone in the thumbnail view, tap Edit, tap all the photos to select them, tap the share arrow button, then tap Save to Camera Roll.  Once in the camera roll you can import them to your computer.

  • I need to delete my iCloud account, because i have two open and need to consolidate. How do i simply delete the account?

    hi there, looking for help from anyone who may have had similar trouble.  I'm sure it's a simple fix...

    You can't delete an iCloud account, you can just choose to stop using it.
    If you are signed into two accounts on your Mac, you can delete the secondary account by going to System Preferences>Internet Accounts, highlighting the account and clicking the "-" below it.  You can sign out of your main account in System Preferences>iCloud.  If you need to consolidate data from the two accounts, drag and drop the data within the various apps from the account you will no longer be using into the one you will be keeping before doing so.

  • Need to delete an icloud account and change it to a new one on iphone

    I worked for a company and had an e-mail address and icloud saved the data under that account.   I cannot seem to delete that account from the phone and add the new account for the new e-mail address.   HELP!

    Not if you do it properly.  To migrate to a new account and keep your data, start by saving any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless already there) by opening your my photo stream album, tapping Select, tapping the photos, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow), then tapping Save to Camera Roll.  If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep, you'll need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself so you can later copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.  Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide the password to turn off Find My iDevice and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Then sign back in with a different Apple ID to create your new account and choose Merge to upload your data.
