iCloud pics

[Kirsten_Macadam]

Hi, I’m not sure this is the right place for this question so apologies in advance if it’s not! I have a few intimate photos on my phone that I am trying to delete but every time I delete them they reappear. Do I need to change my iCloud settings? Thanks.

Hi @Kirsten Macadam and welcome to PCHF

According to Apple,
[ol]
[li]In Photos on iCloud.com, select the photos or videos you want to delete, or double-click a single photo or video.[/li][li]Click [IMG alt=“the Delete button”]https://help.apple.com/assets/61D4BE...71653b9849.png, then click Delete.[/li]Deleted photos and videos are placed in the Recently Deleted album, where they remain for 30 days before being permanently removed. To delete photos or videos sooner, go to the Recently Deleted album, select the items you want to delete, then click Delete [number] Items.

Ensure once you deleted them from your device that you go to the deleted photos folder to permanently delete them.
Also go to iCloud.com & check they’ve been removed there.
