    Hi amz743,

     

    They will be deleted from the PhotoStream folder in iPhoto, but if you have sync'd them then they will still be there in your Events or whatever new Folder you may have created for them. Also, deleting photos from PhotoStream does not delete those same photos from your Camera Roll, so either way, you will still have them.

     

    Or, conversely, if you are asking if you would need to delete them from both PhotoStream and iPhoto (if they have aleady been sync'd), then yes, you would need to delete them from both places. PhotoStream is a separate entity from your actual photos that get sync'd.

     

    Cheers,
