How to delete photos from iPhone but not from iCloud

You may just pull the switch and unsync your photos from iCloud: Settings -> Apple ID -> iCloud -> Photos -> Set the toggle to “off”. Make sure you’ve chosen to “Optimize iPhone Storage”, or the photos will stay on your iPhone.

This will partially remove photos from iPhone, and a full copy of your library will be available in iCloud

HOWEVER: Copies of photos will still stay on your iPhone *sour face*.

WHY IS THAT? Unsyncing photos just places their copies in iCloud, it doesn’t remove them from device as long as it has enough memory, and you can’t make Apple do otherwise.

… SOLUTION? Delete the rest of iPhone photos from PC or simply go through them one by one on your iPhone.

How to delete all photos from iPhone

When it comes to mass-deleting photos from iPhone, Apple doesn’t allow you to select all of them at once. Of course, you can just reset your iPhone, but this is not always the best way to go.

Here is what you can do instead ⚡ :

⚡ First, make sure you have disabled iCloud Photos on your device.

Delete all iPhone photos using Windows Explorer

To mass-delete iPhone photos, you can always connect your iPhone to PC (via a USB cable), then find it in the Windows Explorer panel on the left, navigate inside and DELETE all the folders you see. Ruthless, but effective:

HOWEVER: You won’t be able to preview or export photos in the right order before you delete them.
WHY IS THAT? Because Windows Explorer doesn’t care about the order and if you try to just export the images it will rotate half of them and mess with their timeline.
SOLUTION? Use an alternative way to export photos before you erase them from iPhone.

Back up photos to PC, then delete

If you want to back up your photos to PC just in case, CopyTrans Photo allows you to:

⭐ preview all your photos,
⭐ export them to PC,
⭐ then delete from iPhone.

Here is how to remove photos from iPhone to computer:

Download CopyTrans Photo and install it:

If you need help installing CopyTrans Photo, please refer to the installation guide.

Launch CopyTrans Photo and connect your iPhone to PC. If you need help with drivers, we got you. You will see your iPhone photos on the left, and PC photos and folders on the right.

I chose an empty PC folder on the right: that’s why there are no items shown.

If you want to back up your photos first, click on Full Backup and select the destination folder, then click “OK”.

Sit back and let CopyTrans Photo do all the work (give it time, it is working hard to transfer all the images in original quality with meta data!)

If all is well, your photos are waiting for you in the designated folder:

Now, it’s time to delete photos from iPhone.

On the left, select Camera Roll -> Press Ctrl+A -> Press Delete -> Click on Apply changes.

If necessary, repeat the same steps for Photo Library.

Done! Your photos are gone, erased, never to return.

Here is how to delete all pictures from iPhone while also saving them to PC. If you want to, you can upload selected images to iCloud to retain easy access to them.

My photos weren’t deleted

If your photos weren’t deleted or came back afterwards, it means you have iCloud Photos enabled. Please follow this troubleshooting guide and try again.

How to remove photos from iPhone through iCloud

If you have iCloud Photos enabled, erasing your iCloud library will pull the plug and remove all the images from your iPhone as well.

How to easily delete all of the photos and videos on your iPhone at once

Compared to photos and videos, virtually everything else on your iPhone takes hardly any space at all. So when your phone is running low on space, it’s your collection of photos and videos that may be the first to go.

Of course, newer iPhones are available with such enormous amounts of memory that you may never run low on storage. But if you have an older model, cleaning out your photo library may sometimes be your only option.

If you need to reclaim a lot of space in a hurry, you can selectively delete certain photos and videos – but you’ll reclaim the most space by deleting all of your images in one fell swoop.

The problem? Apple doesn’t give you a «select all» option to delete all of your photos at once. That means you need to employ a little trick to do it.

How to delete all the photos on your iPhone at once

1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone.

2. Tap the «Albums» tab at the bottom of the screen.

3. Tap «All Photos» in the «My Albums» group. (This might be called «Recents» or «Camera Roll» if you don’t use iCloud to back up your photos.)

4. Tap «Select.»

5. Lightly tap the very bottom photo and then, without lifting your finger, slide all the way to the left and then drag up to the top of the title bar at the top of the screen. Your finger should end up on top of the clock in the upper left corner. Leave your finger there as the photos get selected as they scroll down – it will take a while, especially if you have a lot of photos on your phone. You’ll see a running list of how many photos are selected in the middle of the title bar.

6. When all the photos are selected, tap the trash icon in the lower right corner.

7. Confirm that you want to delete these photos by tapping «Delete ## Items» (where ## is the total number of photos you are about to delete.)

How to permanently delete all of your iPhone photos

At this point, all of your photos have been moved to the «Recently Deleted» folder on your iPhone. If you don’t do anything else, iOS will purge them from your phone in 30 days. But to delete them and reclaim the space immediately, you need to empty this folder.

1. Tap «Albums» to see the list of albums again.

2. Scroll down to the «Other Albums» section and tap «Recently Deleted.»

3. Tap «Select.»

4. Tap «Delete All,» found in the lower left corner.

5. Confirm that you want to delete these photos by tapping «Delete ## Items» (where ## is the total number of photos you are about to delete permanently from your phone.)

Note that if you deleted photos by mistake, you can restore them from here as well.

How to save your photos even if you delete them

Yes, you can have your cake and eat it, too. Even if you need to reclaim all of the photo and video storage space on your iPhone, the good news is that it’s easy to preserve all of your photos in the cloud – and still have access to them on your phone almost as easily as if they are still in the Photos app.

Dropbox, Google Photos, and OneDrive all offer the option to automatically back up all of your photos and videos online, in the background, so you never have to think about. To do this, just install the cloud storage app of your choice and configure it to automatically save your photos for you. There are many advantages to doing this:

• You always have immediate access to your iPhone’s photos on any device, including your home computer, just by logging into the appropriate cloud service in a web browser.
• You get an automatic backup of your iPhone’s photos.
• To save storage space, you can delete all of your photos from your iPhone and still be able to browse and view photos and video via the cloud app.
