Howdy sudarshan113,

It sounds like you are having an issue deleting iCloud Photos. We know how important this is for you, and you’re in the right place for answers.

Delete photos and videos

1. On your Windows computer, open File Explorer, then click iCloud Photos in the Navigation pane.

2. If you don’t see iCloud Photos, click Pictures in the Navigation pane, then double-click iCloud Photos.

3. Select the photos or videos you want to delete, then press the Delete key.

This info is located in the iCloud for Windows User Guide: Delete and recover photos and videos in iCloud for Windows - Apple Support

If still having issues, try going to iCloud.com from a web browser and see if you can delete them there.

Take Care.
