Okay, iCloud is a number of different services, and iCloud support itself is built-in and not removable.


iCloud Photos is a sync service, meaning that deleting a photo in one place deletes it everywhere.


You can shut off iCloud Photos on individual devices, or on the Mac, if you want.


If it’s not iCloud Photos that you want to shut off, which other service?
