To delete photo storage on iCloud, you need to turn off iCloud Photos and choose to delete the photos from iCloud. Here's how to do it on your Apple device:
Steps to Delete iCloud Photo Storage
These steps apply to iPhones, iPads, and Apple Vision Pro.
- Open the Settings app on your device.
- Tap your name at the top of the Settings menu. This will take you to your Apple ID settings.
- Tap iCloud.
- Tap Photos.
- Tap the toggle next to iCloud Photos to turn it off. This will stop syncing new photos to iCloud.
- Tap "Turn Off & Delete Photos". In iOS 17 or earlier, it might say "Turn Off & Delete from iCloud."
Important Notes:
- Deleting photos from iCloud will remove them from all devices synced with iCloud Photos. Make sure you have a backup of any photos you want to keep before proceeding.
- After you turn off iCloud Photos and choose to delete the photos, the photos and videos stored in iCloud will be deleted 30 days after you stop using the service. Apple provides this grace period in case you change your mind.
- To check the status of your deletion, you can go back to the Photos settings in iCloud and look for information about the remaining time.
By following these steps, you can successfully delete your photo storage on iCloud.
