Q: Photos reappear in Photos after being deleted
I get message my Photos library is >20Gb and I am approaching the limit of my iCloud subscription of 25Gb. I deleted photos in the Mac version and got the size back to <10Gb. I expected this would simply sync with the iCloud and all devices, but that does not happen. On both my iPhone and iPad the size still shows as more than >20Gb. I delete pictures and videos on both these devices and size should go down, but they do not. (I made sure I emptied the recently deleted album). Then I log on via the webbrowser on iCloud and notice indeed all photos are still there.
So I start to delete photos in the webbrowser, I get message they will be deleted from all devices and iCloud. Whilst doing this the pictures reappear within minutes.
Tried several times, but they reappear every time. Not sure what is wrong, but in this way Photos is loosing its appeal rapidly. Anyone having suggestions what to do next? Thanks.
