How to remove photos from the cloud. How to delete photos from iCloud on iPhone. What to consider when completely deleting

To delete various data from applications that support iCloud, just go to the desired program and select all the required items. As a last resort, you can delete the application itself, but even this is not able to completely remove all unnecessary information from your device. Apple's cloud service is certainly very easy to use, but it has a habit of storing completely useless data that takes up extra space in your account.

Now we will look at an easy way to quickly and painlessly delete this kind of data right from your iPhone. First, go to the "Settings" of the gadget and scroll down a little to the iCloud menu. Here we find the "Storage and Copies" section where backups all your devices registered with that Apple ID.

We are waiting for a couple of seconds, and under the names of the gadgets a block "Documents and data" will appear - it is he who interests us. To get started, let's look at working with this section using the example of the Keynote presentation viewer from. The fact is that I deleted it from my smartphone a long time ago, but, as you can see, all presentations were safely saved in iCloud. I do not argue, in a sense it is convenient, but in this case my goal is to free my "cloud" from unnecessary burden. Since these presentations are not of particular value to me, you can safely click "Edit" and delete all these documents. You can also turn a similar operation with a swipe to the right.

So we replenished the iCloud storage with an additional 135 megabytes of free space. In addition to office applications, some iOS games are very fond of saving in the cloud - for example, Sprinkle. This app also hasn't been on my iPhone for several months, but it takes a treasured place in iCloud. Of course, the size of the program's data causes laughter, but some can win back up to 100 megabytes with their saves. We delete.

Why is this needed? It seems that such applications do not take up too much space. However, five programs with a data size of 30 megabytes each can already significantly reduce your storage capacity. Considering that most users prefer not to expand its space with the free five gigabytes, the bill is already clearly going to megabytes.

Be careful!

Clearing iCloud information in this manner will delete it from all of your devices. In particular, after deleting documents from Pages, you will no longer be able to pick up and open them from your Mac computer... Therefore, choose carefully which information you can donate and which should also be kept in Dropbox for security. Just in case.

V App Store there are a bunch of applications. There are so many of them that any user of an iOS device simply dazzles. I would like to try both that program and this one. And so you download and install first one mobile app, then another, etc. But all this once leads to littering iPhone memory- the device starts to freeze and is unstable. The fact is that you need to get rid of unnecessary software. Ask how? Now we will tell you how to remove unnecessary applications from an "apple" smartphone.

You can easily and quickly uninstall programs through the built-in Settings app. This method works for all popular iPhone models- 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, SE, X, etc. What does the user need to do? Just a couple of simple manipulations:

1. We go to "Settings".
2. Select the "Basic" section, then tap on the "Statistics" item.
3. A list of applications will appear in front of you. At the top there will be the most "heavy" programs that take up the most space in the iPhone's memory. Usually these are Instagram, VK and various instant messengers.
4. Scroll through and select the application to uninstall. If the list of progs is too long, then click "Show all programs". Along the way, we pay attention to the information on the right, where you can see the weight of the application.
5. We tap on the program, which needs to be "demolished" from the iPhone.
6. In the next window, click on the "Remove the program" button and confirm the action.

That's all! You were able to remove from iPhone app that you don't want to use. But this is far from the only way to get rid of unnecessary software.

Method number 2

To uninstall an application, you do not need to go to the settings menu. You can do everything on your smartphone desktop. Here's a short guide:

1. We take the smartphone in hand. We remove the lock.
2. We find on the desktop the icon of the program that needs to be deleted.
3. We keep our finger on it. Just a couple of seconds will be enough.
4. All shortcuts on the screen should shake. Also, crosses will appear in the corners of their icons.
5. After that, just click on the cross of the icon of the program from which we will get rid of.
6. In the pop-up window, tap on the "Delete" option.
7. If the icons of other applications continue to shake, then simply press the "Home" button.

Please note that after the described actions, the program will be completely removed. That is, it will immediately disappear not only from the desktop, but also from the memory of the iPhone.

For reference! By the way, by the described method on a device with iOS version 10 (and higher you) can erase not only self-installed, but also pre-installed standard applications by freeing up space in your iPhone storage.

Method number 3

You can delete applications from the iPhone (and from the iPad) even when iTunes help... Although it is not the most convenient and quick way... Most of all, this option is suitable for those who often synchronize their smartphone with a PC.

1. We connect the gadget to a computer or laptop via a USB cable or Wi-Fi.
2. Launching iTunes.
3. We select the device in the sidebar on the left.
4. On the control screen, click on the "Programs" tab.
5. Find in the list unnecessary program and click "Delete".
6. Or we are looking for an application in the "Home Screens" section, then left-click twice and click on the "cross" next to the program icon.
7. Finally, don't forget to click Apply. As a result, after synchronization, the program will be removed from the iPhone.

Useful information! It is not recommended to clean up open applications unnecessarily. Otherwise, you will have to spend a lot of iPhone battery power to restart them. Therefore, use this procedure when work with the program will not be resumed.

Apps are not deleted: what is the reason and what to do?

What if the application is not removed? Why did this happen? Most likely, the reason is a system error. First of all, try to demolish the program different ways... Did not help? Then restart your gadget and try again. Should help.

If the problem is that when you press for a long time, the icons tremble, but the crosses next to them do not appear, then in the settings there is a ban on deletion. You can remove it like this:

1. Go to "Settings"
2. Then open the "General" section and tap on the "Restrictions" item.
3. Enter your security password (note that there are only 2 attempts).
4. Activate the toggle switch opposite "Remove Programs".
5. Delete the application in the usual way.

For reference! There is also such an incident - by accident a user uninstalls a paid application. Now he needs to download and install it again. At the same time, a person has a logical question: "Will it really be necessary to pay for it again?" No. For re-download remote application money will not be debited.

Is it possible to erase the data of the applications themselves on the iPhone?

Finally, I would like to touch upon one more important point... The fact is that many iOS users ask - are application data and history deleted? The same progress in games? The answer is no. Apps from the AppStore bind to account... So if you want to start the game over or completely delete all data from an application, then:

1. Create a new account.
2. Delete information via iCloud. This is done like this: go to the settings, then - "iCloud" / "Storage and copies" / "Storage" and switch the slider opposite the name of the application. It is after deleting data from the cloud that you can be 100% sure that all progress in the game or the history of using the program has been erased.

iCloud Photos is a convenient service that allows you to save copies of photos and sync them for everyone Apple devices including iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV. When the service is active, you take a photo on one device, and it is automatically added to all the others. If you edit a photo, the changes will also be applied across all your devices. If you delete a photo from iCloud Photos on Mac, it disappears from other devices as well.

Most people delete photos in the Photos app on their primary device, but some prefer to do it in a browser like Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, or Edge via iCloud.com.

Many people still do not know how to delete several photos at once, although for others it seems too easy a task. Just in case, we will remind you how this is done.

iCloud Photo Library - and sync it between devices. True, for this it is advisable to buy more space in iCloud, since the initial 5 GB will be enough only for a person who does not know that he has a camera in his phone.

This frightens off many - nevertheless, in our country, not everyone is ready to pay for cloud storage... , many saw it as an excellent free alternative service Apple and decided to "run over". And there may be other motives to jump off using iCloud- for example, you suddenly switched from iPhone to Android.

Naturally, before deleting everything, it is advisable to save the photos back to the device. Naturally, for this, there must be enough space on the gadget to place them. If so, follow these guidelines:

1. Go to "Settings"

3. There find the item "Photo"

Be sure to plug Charger and check Wi-Fi - synchronization occurs only over the air and with a sufficient amount of battery power. After the photos are back on your phone, you can dump them to your computer via USB, or drive them into Dropbox or any other application you need.

Now you can turn off the library. So, in order to disable iCloud Photo Library:

1. Go to "Settings"

2. Go to the "iCloud" tab

3. There find the item "Photo"

4. Turn off the switch in front of iCloud Photo Library

After that, synchronization is disabled only on the device on which you performed the above procedure. But even if you turn off iCloud Photo Library on all devices, the previously saved photos will still remain in the cloud. Not everyone likes to leave personal photos on their account, so when changing the image storage service, it is better to delete them from the library.

For this:

1. Go to "Settings"

2. Go to the "iCloud" tab

3. Click on the "Storage" item

5. Find the item iCloud Photo Library

6. Click "Disable and Remove" (Be careful, Apple does not ask for confirmation for this action)

Cloud services today provide opportunities that you never dreamed of a few years ago. For example, if you need to free up space on local media, you can upload data to cloud folders. also in cloud you can post photos and they will be synced and available across devices.

However, today we'll talk about how to recover or permanently delete files from the cloud.

There are many cloud services... But the three most famous for the end consumer are: Dropbox, Google drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. Let's talk about them.

Recover files in Dropbox

Dropbox behaves differently with deleted files than Google and Microsoft. Dropbox does not have a Recycle Bin. Instead, the files are deleted, but they do not change their location.

More precisely, the files just become hidden. And if you need to restore or permanently delete a file, you need to go to the folder from which the file was deleted and make it visible.

In order to do this, you need to click on the small basket icon in the upper right corner. This is the "Recover Deleted Files" button.

As an option. You can also click right click mouse and select "display deleted files»From the pop-up menu.

In both cases, deleted files will appear shaded. And if you right-click on one of them again, you can see further options.

If you need to restore a file, Dropbox will present you with a dialog box. If you are interested in something else, you can choose the option you want.

For 30 days, you can store your files in Dropbox for free. The extended version of the program provides an opportunity to use the service for one year.

You may never need to realize the benefits of using the extended version of the program. But on those rare occasions when you need to restore previous version file that you have overwritten or deleted, this service will help you out.

Google drive

Google Drive uses a more familiar method for deleting files: moving them to the trash. You can delete the file from any location on the disk, and it will go to the trash.

To restore such a file, you need to click on the trash can icon from the pop-up menu. All files ever deleted are placed here.

You can select one or more files and right-click. There are only two options in the menu: Delete or Restore. The same functions are displayed at the top right of the screen.

The fastest way to permanently delete files from the Trash is to click "Empty Trash".

This is how you can recover or delete files in Google Drive. Now let's take a look at Google Drive's competitor, Microsoft OneDrive.

Microsoft OneDrive

Microsoft's OneDrive also moves deleted files instead of deleting them. Thus, deleted files can be found in the trash can.

Once you open the OneDrive trash bin, you will be surprised to see all the files ever deleted.

If you need to restore them, you can start "Restore All". If you delete - "Empty Trash".

And if you need to restore or delete only some of the files, you can mark them, and then the possible program options will change. You can "Restore" or "Delete" files, view their properties, or remove the selection.

Sometimes, even if you're trying really hard not to cheat, you can lose important data... That is why it is useful to know that even in such cases it is possible to recover your data and even inside the cloud service.

Of course, we realize that there are many other cloud services around that work in different ways, but after reading this article, know that there are such cloud functions. If there is no such function, you can always contact the service support service with a request to solve the problem, since you can analyze the disk with files in the cloud the program will fail.

Well, if such actions did not lead to the recovery of important data, you can remember where, in addition to the cloud, your files were stored, or from where your files were downloaded or synchronized with the cloud. And scan this media using one of the programs for data recovery... After all, all options are good for solving the problem.
