    When you go into the the photo stream album in **the photo app** (not some other photo app like iphoto) tap the Edit button.  Then you can tap individual photos and finally tap the Delete button, which should be displayed.  Another way to do this is to view all the photos in the stream album and tap one of them.  This expands the photo to full screen and there should be a trash can icon that you can tap to delete it.

    I have kinda same problem, can't delete some pictures from photo stream directly from my iPad.

    tap edit and can select photo but "Delete" button seems not acceptable.

    i can see the delete icon but it's not working....

     

    If i connect to my PC, it preview only 2 photos but iTune shows me number of picture is 48 photos,.

    So these 2 photos are able to delete, but other 46 photos are not able to delete.

    When open Photo stream, there are three icons on the top middle     Photos - Photo stream - Albums

     

    when i tap "photo", there are only 2 photos (which is deletable)

     

    when i tap "Photo stream", there are no photo display.  (display; New photo will be automatically uploarded and sent to all of your iClioud devices when connected to Wi-fi)

     

    when i tap Albums, there are  2 files "Camera roll" (2 photos) and  "photo stream" (46 photos).

    In Camera roll photo can delete.

    But ... Photo stream in Album, ... tap edit then can select pictures but there is no icon for delete.    

     

    And same as Lafayete, I went to icloud.com but cannot get to the advanced settings option to turn it off, also when  I go to photostream album and tap edit I do not get the delte option

     

    I need heeeelp   :-(
