Hey there, CameramanK,




If you're using iCloud Photos, you can delete pictures on any device using iCloud Photos, or directly at iCloud.com. Since this feature is designed to sync changes across all devices, deleting a photo in one location will delete it in all other locations, as well. If you're looking to manage iCloud storage, you can do so following the information below from Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support


Delete photos in iCloud Photos

iCloud Photos uses your iCloud storage to keep all of your photos and videos up to date across your devices. You can make more space in iCloud when you delete photos and videos that you no longer needfrom the Photos app on any of your devices.

Before you delete anything, make sure that you back up the photos and videos that you still want. When you use iCloud Photos and delete a photo or video on one device, it's also deleted on all other devices where you're signed in with the same Apple ID.

Use these steps to delete photos and videos from your iCloud Photos.

iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

1. Open the Photos app, then tap Photos at the bottom of your screen.
2. Tap Select, and choose one or more photos or videos that you want to delete.
3. Tap Delete , and then tap Delete Photo.

Mac

1. Open the Photos app.
2. Select the photos and videos that you want to delete.
3. Press the delete key on your keyboard, control-click, or right-click and choose Delete (#) Photos. Then click Delete to confirm.

iCloud.com

1. From your iPhone, iPad, or computer, sign in to iCloud.com.
2. Tap the Photos app.
3. Select the photos or videos that you want to delete. 
4. Tap Delete , then tap Delete.

To select multiple photos or videos, tap Select on iOS or iPadOS, or press and hold Command on a Mac or Control on a PC while you select the items. To select all, press and hold Command-A on macOS or Control-A on Windows, or tap Select All on iOS or iPadOS. 

You can recover photos and videos that you delete from your Recently Deleted album for 30 days. If you want to remove content from Recently Deleted album faster, tap Select, then select the items you want to remove. Tap Delete > Delete. If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, your device immediately removes any photos and videos you delete and they won't be available for recovery in your Recently Deleted album.


Cheers!
