In my "Recently Deleted" folder I can select photos but there is no option to delete. No trash can icon. My only choices are Download and Recover.
How do I delete photos from this folder?
iPhone 5c, iOS 8.4.1
Hi rharcum,
Items in the iCloud Photo Library's Recently Deleted folder can be deleted using an iOS device such as an iPod touch, iPhone or iPad, or using a Mac. Items left in the folder for 30 days are automatically deleted. See this article for reference - iCloud: Use iCloud Photo Library on your iOS device
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sincerely.
My iOS decive (iphone5c) shows the Recently Deleted folder to be empty. But when I look in that folder using icloud.com the Recently Deleted folder still has all the photos. Why are they there when using icloud.com?
I also get the following error message (see below) when I look in the Recently Deleted folder using icloud.com
I've clicked "Send to Apple" but the error repeats and there is no way to delete photos from the Recently Deleted folder.
