How do I delete photos in iCloud right now. Reads that iCloud photos are disabled...I do not need these photos, period. I cannot afford to buy more space.
Thanks
Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 6
If you are using Mac , opened system preferences > Apple ID icon > iCloud > click on manage > select photo in side bar and click on turn off and delete .
Again click on delete .
And when you sign in with Apple ID and password at www.icloud.com with all credentials and click on photos an error message will be displayed .
However the photos are not yet deleted , from the server they can be recovered from system preferences > click on turn on .
You want that these photos should be immediately deleted from iCloud .com select the desired photos ( hold shift key , click on first photo and the nth photo ) and click on delete , the photos will be moved in recently deleted ( open recently deleted folder ( again select the photos ) and delete them , they are immediately erased from iCloud server .
If you are not receiving mails in iCloud.com , either the mail storage is high , you might have created rules for incoming mails or port settings are incorrect .

Your profile shows using Apple Watch as per this article https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/watch/apde3d82be52/watchos
Photos from the iPhone album of your choice appear in the Photos app on your Apple Watch. Your Apple Watch stores photos from a single synced photo album on your iPhone.
If all the devices are synced with same Apple ID and password on the same network ( if you delete photo from iPhone , and delete from recently deleted the photos will also erased from device and iCloud.com ( but to view photos in iCloud.com , you need a web browser ) .
Turn on iCloud photos in iPad https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT209453
And then delete the photos permanently https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT205856
Your profile shows using Apple Watch , please stay on topic and don't switch the question .
When photo box is turned as on in iPhone / Mac / iPad all of them are signed in with same Apple ID and password on the same network and once they are completely synced , if you delete photos from iCloud.com or any desired device it will be deleted from others , of course there is time limit of 30 days , they stay on iCloud.com but placed in recently deleted folder , when 30 days time period is crossed they are automatically erased .
Its the decision of the user to recover them or delete immediately or wait for 30 days , I think it's clear , if still its not understood please post back sir .
As you wrote - The iCloud ‘disabled’ will not allow the photos to be deleted...NOW.
It seems that the issue is different see some articles https://support.apple.com/en-in/guide/photos/pht6d60d10f/mac

Using unknown apps in iPhone / Mac / iPad will corrupt the inbuilt apple applications , don't use them and delete them https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT207618

Selecting few photos in iCloud.com is recommended ( you can hold shift key click on first photo and the last photo and click on delete icon , avoid selecting massive photos , it can can hang ) .
The apps are installed from App Store ?
Thanks, tried that on both devices...my iCloud Photos has been disabled...reads that they will be deleted in 30 days.
apologies for the confusion —just a Senior citizen trying to delete unwanted photos.
thanks again
Yes I understand everything you’ve written. I simply want to delete all 600 plus photos from all devices—Apple Watch, iPad and iPhone, NOW.
The iCloud ‘disabled’ will not allow the photos to be deleted...NOW.
Is there a way to override this lockout?
Also, whilst I have your attention...currently whatever apps that I load on my iPad are loaded onto my iPhone and vice versa. Is there a switch to make this not happen. I only play games on my iPad and would rather they not show up on my phone.
Many thanks.
You are appreciated.
Thanks. Tried these. In iCloud I read ‘iCloud photos has been disabled. You have 25 days remaining to make sure etc.’
I need to delete now. Can’t receive mail.
Thanks again.
Using an iPad but thanks anyway
