Photo Library on Windows downloading deleted photos

I have exactly the same issue - new iCloud for Windows application has just downloaded a load of photos which I deleted ages ago.

These photos do not appear in my Photo Library on my iPhone or my iPad nor can I see them on icloud.com however they have downloaded to my PC.

I have exactly the same issue. It prooves that Apple ignores data privacy and abuses the users photos. In my case I have also years old photos that were deleted, but now they are downloaded to my PC though icloud photo library. I hope media will pick this up quickly and start a little shitstorm.

So there you go. I have the same problem looking for a solution only to avoid 30 days of not using iCloud for server to delete everything.

I have nearly 800mb worth of photos in iCloud library and yet in photos app only 32 worth around 32mb. iCloud store nearly 500 of them from 3 previous years...

Such a flop is really disturbing, I was really shocked when I downloaded this library and saw photos that should't exsist long time ago. It makes me wonder if they really delete anything from their servers, this is a bug, but the one that maybe just revealed that they store and keep everything when they shouldn't.

I've spoken with Apple about this. They are investigating, I shall report back with what they say.

YES!! I have the same problem! To me, this is privacy violation from Apple! I have a total of 412 photos stored on iCloud, 32 on My Photo Stream and no videos stored. When I downloaded the iCloud for PC I wanted to sync these photos on it and SURPRISE! I've got 5 videos stored and 88 aditional photos I deleted seven months ago. How is this even possible? I remember these photos I took weren't even in my iPhone (I just took them and deleted them instantly) yet somehow they uploaded to some sort of invisible cloud (because these ones are not stored on My Photo Stream nor in iCloud). I want an explanation and I don't want this photos to appear AT ALL! Is not even 2016 yet and this software says I've got some pictures took in 2016!!! The problem is there's no option to delete these pictures from wherever they are!

Is there any solution to this?

Did they solved your problem?

I spoke to Apple on the phone about this - they created a support ticket - then I've never heard anything since.

Hello there,

I also have this problem. Ticket at Apple I've created, unfortunately will not get any solution to today.

When my daughter over 4 GB are occupied with old photos.

This is really very annoying.

0 photos and 0 videos still 1.6Gb of Photos in iCloud.

greetings

For anyone experiencing this problem, I can CONFIRM that deleting the entire photo library and waiting the 30 day period solved my problem. Hope this helps!
