How To Delete All Photos On iPhone But Not iCloud

question. after you turn off "icloud photos" when you take photos, it will not be save on icloud, do i just turn it back on? or manually upload it on icloud?

Thank you for such a simple explanation! been searching everywhere for this. Appreciate it.

Thank you for this helpful information, but what if you take new photos after deleting them? Will these new photos be added during the next iCloud sync?

Is there any way to check in the phone itself in Photos app to see which photos are backed up in cloud and which ones are not?

Thank you!!!!! I appreciate you!

Will this prevent copies of new photos and videos from being saved to iCloud in the future? If so how do I setup to save new ones to iCloud?

Folks, it's crucial to understand that iCloud isn't your typical storage solution where you stash files and retrieve them like an external hard drive. Instead, it serves as a seamless hub connecting all your devices for easy access.

Here's the catch: if you delete something from your iCloud or any connected device, it's gone across the board. So, exercise caution! If you're looking to store photos elsewhere, consider using Google Photos. Just make sure to use separate email logins or, if needed, invest in additional Google Drive storage for a seamless and organized experience.

Hi Trevor! Big question here. I see it in the comments a lot. What happens if I turn on the Sync toggle after all the photos have been deleted from the phone after syncing with iCloud? Most of us simply want to make space in our phones and want to keep all the storage in iCloud, so we worry that if we turn on the sync toggle, all of the pictures will reappear on our phones. Please help! Thanks.

Once you hit to sync again, won’t it know you deleted them off the phone and start deleting them off the cloud?

Hi. How I can delete a few photos from my iPhone and keep them in iCloud?

Thank you this was so helpful. I’m a gamer and this helped me save up so much space on my mobile device

how do you sync new photos from your phone to icloud without resyncing all photos? Also, what your iPad? Are the photos still on your iPad?

Thanks

I don't see how this is useful? The moment you "reconnect" your phone and the icloud, they will sync up again and either all the data will download to my phone again, OR all will be deleted in the cloud. How do I sync them so that my library on my phone is empty but everything is saved in the cloud?

What happens if you want your photos you take to keep uploading to the cloud -- do you have to turn sync back on and will that add all the photos back to your phone?

Thanks Trevor, you remind of this option. So simple video and direct to the point.

Never there is anybody who can tell how you can delete one! or a few! from an iphone or ipad.

You are not answering people's questions.

If you turn sync back on, will it delete photos from the iCloud to match whats on the phone? or pull photos from the iCloud to the phone? which is the data of truth?

ok so this was helpful, but what about new photos from beyond this point ? I want them to save to the cloud eventually too - will the just say on my phone or will a new upload start ? If I turn iCloud back on, will all the old phots flood back into my phone ? I kinda wanna start fresh you see, but keep then all

What if you want to still continue to sync photos from your phone to the iCloud? Won’t you have to turn syncing back on, and then repeat the same process. I have a ton of storage on the iCloud but not the iPhone. I’m constantly having to download apps I use everyday because it boots them because storage on my phone is low.

How do you do this with mac?

This is helpful. Thank you Trevor.

Did anyone do this and be successful? I am afraid to remove all from my phone in case they go from the icloud also

thanks man

thank you!

But if I don’t want to remove all of them? If I want to remove for example just one video, what should I do then?

How am i exactly freeing up space if the photos are still there?

Have same problem

i did this and my photos where still on my iphone

I did this and why are the photos still on my gallery? If I removed them 🤔
