Is iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone? Then you cannot delete after import. The "Delete after Import" is disabled, when you are importing from a device with iCloud Photo Library. It might result in deleting the photos from iCloud and from your Mac, that you just imported.


If you are using iCloud photo library on your iPhone and your AMc, you must not delete any phots from the iPhone that you want to keep on your mac, because the delition will sync to iCloud and all devices-

Thank you, Leone ....

That's it. Now I understand. The iCloud Photo Library is open ..... Thank you so much.

Speaking of iCloud. I got this message today.

"Your iCloud storage is almost full. You have 253.3 MB remaining of 5 GB total storage."

Where would I go to delete items and free up some memory ... I just feel I have a lot of stuff there that I no longer want.

Thank you again for helping me

Garvin,

if you are using iCloud Photo library, don't import using USB. The photos will sync auto matically to our MAc.

That's it. Now I understand. The iCloud Photo Library is open ...

Is iCloud Photo Library enabled both on the iPhone and your Mac, or only on the iPhone?

Where would I go to delete items and free up some memory ... I just feel I have a lot of stuff there that I no longer want.

That is critically low. You need to free iCloud Storage asap. Are only photos taking up your cloud storage or also other documents and data?

If your Mac is also using iCloud Photo Library:

  • Make a backup of your Photos Library.
  • Delete older photos that are not your favorites using Photos on the Mac and empty the Recently Deleted album. See if your free Cloud Storage increases.

If your Mac is not using iCloud Photo Library:

  • Try to select and delete enough photos on the iPhone in the Photos.app and delete then. Then empty "recently Deleted"
  • You can also delete in the Photos.app at www.icloud.com as Larry sugested, but I do not know of any way to empty the recently deleted album there. So the photos will stay for a month, ready to recover and you will not have free storage immediately.


So try to delete as many photos as possible directly on the devices until you have enough free cloud storage.
