Q: how to delete multiple photos from icloud library?
I use icloud photos with multiple devices, including an iPhone 4, an iPad, a Macbook pro and two PCs.
My icloud library is too large, containing many duplicates (same photo taken several times) and many photos I don't want to keep.
Deleting photos from the library using the icloud library is a slow, cumbersome process. I can only delete one at a time, each time taking 20 seconds or more, even with a high speed internet connection.
How can I select & delete several photos at once?
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.5

Hello rhwolfson,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you want to be able to remove multiple pictures from iCloud Photo Library at the same time. I will do my best to help find a solution for you.
The easiest way to remove multiple photos is to sign into iCloud.com on one of the computers you listed. Once signed in, click on the photos icon. When you are in the "Moments" view, you should see "Select Photos" in the upper right of the browser window. Click "Select Photos". You should now be able to select multiple photos, and then click the "Delete" button that appears. This should allow you to remove multiple photos at one time.
Have a great day!
