Q: PHOTOS WILL NOT DELETE??

Why do my photos keep coming back into Photostream even though I have deleted them many times?  I have all current software on my iPhone, MacPro and MackBookPro and no matter where I delete from , they keep returning.

 

Is there a secret to securely deleting the photos?  

Mac Pro (Mid 2010), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)

    Hi joseph,

     

    Where are you doing the delete, and where are they showing up again? The reason I ask is because to delete a particular photo, you have to delete it individually from each of the following places where it may reside:

     

    Camera Roll

    Photo Stream

    iPhoto

     

    Is it possible that that is your issue?

     

    Cheers,

    Been looking into this with great detail.  Seems that this is a glitch in the apple programming somehow.  The only answer I find is delete them by selecting them one by one after you select "edit" then you can delete them.  My photostream only comes back on my ipad.  Everything else works fine including iphone and macbook pro. 

     

    Frustrating is too light of a word for this problem.  Apple needs to bring back the reset photo stream option to fix thier errors.  Or at least fix it to how it was supposed to work.
