How can I delete everything in icloud?

Hello Quellen,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

If you're wanting to delete things in your iCloud, the steps in the "Make more space available in iCloud" section of this article can walk you through deleting the various data in your iCloud: Manage your iCloud storage

Hope this helps!

Hello Quellen,

Thanks for those details.

If those photos are in iCloud, you can use the steps here to delete them from the iCloud website:

1. "In Photos on iCloud.com, select the photos or videos you want to delete, or double-click a single photo or video.
2. Click , then click Delete.
3. Deleted photos and videos are moved to the Recently Deleted album.
4. To permanently delete photos or videos before they are automatically deleted, go to the Recently Deleted album, select the items you want to delete, then click Delete [number] Items.

See also Delete photos or videos from your Shared Library."

If you still have questions, reach out to Apple Support directly, as this may require closer guidance: Get Support

Cheers!

Hi Quellen,

Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.

We understand that you don't want your photos to sync to iCloud and you want to remove them. In order to stop photos and other content from syncing to the complimentary 5GB, you will need to turn off Photos in Settings > your name > iCloud.

You can turn off any other content you do not want to sync to iCloud and to any other devices signed in with your Apple ID. When you disable iCloud Photos, you will see a pop up to remove the photos from iPhone or to download them to your phone. Choose to download them if you want to keep the content on your device.

Regards.

Download All of iCloud First:

If you wanted to, you could download all of iCloud, and then trash what is in there. Perform my User Tip: Getting a Quick and Direct "iCloud Drive-to-External Hard Drive" Download - User Tip. All would be saved, and would then be removed —photos and all. You would then use Finder to browse all of iCloud.
