Google Photos is called Photos on Android phones & Google Photos is called Google Photos on iPhone & Photos App on iPhone is Apple's Photos App
On android phones, in addition to Google Photos app, you'll have another photo viewer app!
Your photo viewer might be called a different name depending on your phone's company. For example, on Samsung it's called Gallery, & on Sony it's called Album.
What is it called in your phone, please let me know in the comments?
Album = Gallery
In album or gallery, you can only find photos & videos that are stored on your phone!
In Google Photos, you could see all the photos & videos that are stored on your phone as well as all the photos & videos stored online in the cloud.
All the photos in here have got the cloud icon, it means they're stored online in Google Photos. These photos are also stored in the phone. But, it's also possible to have photos that are stored in the cloud but not in the phone!
"Delete from device" will delete the photos or videos from your phone but it'll keep in the cloud. It's a good option to save space from your phone while still having access to the photos & videos through Google Photos.
1:15 - First time deleting a photo. Later, you'll get a more simple message.
IMPORTANT: It means if you'd select "Move to the bin", Google Photos will delete your selected photos & videos from both the phone & the cloud.
It also means that if the selected photos & videos is stored in another phone, tablet, pc, etc. that has got the backup turned ON, then it'll also delete them from those devices too!
Since these photos were stored on my phone as well as the cloud, now they're deleted from both.
Step 1: Turn OFF the backup
IMPORTANT: Turning off backup doesn't mean that you could now delete photos from your Google Photos & it'll just delete from the cloud!
In the Album or Gallery, those photos are also deleted.

2 solutions to delete photos & videos from Google Photos
Solution 1: 3:54 minute
Solution 2: 5:15 minute
Basically not giving access to your storage will disable your Google Photos & make it redundant! Not a good idea!
In fact Google Photos is one of the best photos & videos apps. You just need to learn how to use it properly.
WARNING:
If you haven't turned off Google Photos backup on any device (such as your phone) that contains the original photo or video, then irrespective of which method you follow, the original photo will also be deleted.
These are all the photos & videos that are stored online/cloud. Original photo or video could still be stored in your phone (or any other device).
WARNING: It'll delete it from your phone too if you got the backup ON on your phone.
Solution 2: Deleting the photos & videos from Google Photos cloud but not from the phone but in the phone.

God dam legend, the day i started to use google photo is the worst day of my life
fr
The more people make these videos, the more tricky google has made it. I turned off back up, deleted some photos, and google still deleted them both in my phone and on the sd card. They really are evil. There is no end to what lengths they'll go to in order to coerce more money out of us.
You have to delete it from a browser. If you use the phone app it will delete both.
Use a pc
@@TheOpinionationer
Correct
righttt
Great! It works! I deleted pictures and videos from the cloud without deleting from my phone while only using my phone instead of a PC. Thank you!
Can confirm that it works! Even as up to February of 2024! Thank you very much for this tutorial🎉 I've been struggling for a while with this Google Photos app
Great to hear!
@@bhupindertube
Hi..Im using pixel 6a and i followed your steps. I turned off back up, deleted some photos from browser using photos, and google still deleted them both in my phone and cloud.Kindly suggeste solution?
@@bhupindertube Hello brother, if my Google account deletes my photos or video from the Google Photos site because it has not been activated for two years, will this affect my RUclips channel account So they delete my videos on RUclips channel or not? I say no
I have watched a dozen videos on how to delete Google Photos, without deleting them from my iPhone. You are the first approached that worked. Thank you!!!!!
Why would you have google photos on an iphone? 🤣
Just get an android phone if you're gonna use g photos
You're most welcome!
@@CartoonWeasel Google Photos is better than iPhone's Photos in iPhone, just like everybody is using Google Maps on iPhone. As well as you could get 5 GB free cloud storage on Google Photos on iPhone.
Omgosh thank you so much- this has been a really annoying issue for me because my storage is constantly full and I can't make edits to documents in my Google account - so I turned off the sync and deleted from the account like you suggested. Really appreciate you making this video with step-by-step instructions!!
First of all, I'm glad that this video helped you to manage your google account. I've to confess, Google Photos has made this process too complicated & just because of this many people are turned off from using Google Photos App, which in my opinion is one of the best apps for viewing Photos & Videos on Any Phone!
@@bhupindertube You're so right!!
Jesus bro, you are a hero! This is the only viable solution. Huge thanks
Thank you so much my storage was full and i didn't know what to do but you helped me alot💚
Glad I could help!
@@bhupindertube I have moved the photos in SD card. Now if I delete from Google photos and it will also delete from SD card?
I appreciate this so much. I found out the hard way google make all their apps share the same storage. Had some important emails that I needed to receive and its been full for a while, I can't thank you enough!
Glad I could help!
Thanks so much! You are a saviour!
So helpful ivee been stuck on this for two years
Thank u so much!! U explained everything and it really worked!!!
Very very very thank you brother..my google account storage had filled up and so I could not get any messages on gmail..but couldnt delete the already backed up photos from photos...For many days was in tension..but bow itll be solved
And the patient and gradual way you explained..step by step everything 👍👏
Thank you for this…finally I can understand how to fix the issue with my photos being captured by google!
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for this! I have been trying to figure out this Google Photos thing for weeks and everywhere just says turn off the back-up which as you know does not solve the problem of it not deleting my photos from my phone. Thank you so much! You are amazing!
You're most welcome. It's astonishingly complicated to delete photos.
He explained in a very correct manner .....👏👏👏👏
Thank You so Much brother. Great video MAN.
Glad it helped
Life saver video. Thank you so so much.
Godddddd....you don't know what you just did❤thank you sooo muchhh
Thank you sooo much. Very helpful video👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
I am not sure if the second option works or not. For me, I have my app backup in off mode, but when I try to delete the photo on website, it just delete my photo on the app, too.
me too
same any luck??
Me too,
Me too 😢
It won't delete anything for me😭
thank you so much! i was so confused what the rules were regarding deleting photos from the cloud but your explanation was super clear! also as a tip, it takes less time to delete when you're using a a keyboard. you can zoom out by a lot in the browser and hold "shift" + "left click" to select a lot of photos at a time. it took me a min at most to delete all my photos & videos after i used this method
You're most welcome! Thanks for your tip for selecting photos.
I have made another video for selecting photos on computer - ruclips.net/video/u2_lX3Jp8I4/видео.html
Or if you want to download all your photos to your computer from Google Photos Cloud in one go - ruclips.net/video/rvwSsaAHxz8/видео.html
You are the best!!❤
My problem has ben solved thanks!
omg this is truly working! I've done so many research regarding this issue but I don't fins the reliable one until I decided to watch in RUclips. Thank you very much! Im so happy it works even if it's June 29, 2024 now.💜
not working 😢 it is deleting both cloud and device photos
Thanks for this video! Felt like cursing google photos for life hahaha, ur a savior!!!!
Happy to help!

This worked terrifically. Thank you for sharing this tip!!!!
You're welcome! I'm glad to hear that 🙏

Excellent, solved the problem, well explained and it did practically solve the issue!
Most welcome 😊
I appreciate this so much. I found out the hard way google make all their apps share the same storage. Had some important emails that I needed to receive and its been full for a while,I can't thank you enough!how to stop photos backing up to google photos
Glad I could help! Many years ago, Google Photos was allowing people to backup unlimited number of photos without taking the storage. Nowadays, it doesn't make sense to backup as it'll get full pretty quick. After deleted the backed up photos as shown above & having your back up off, Google Photos won't backup your photos from that device anymore.
So so help this was.Thank you.
You're most welcome!
Thank you so much! You're awesome!
You're most welcome. I'm glad to help a fellow human being 🙌
Thank you so much for this video, it's so helpful!

You're most welcome 🙏
Thank you so much sir🙏
Lifesaver, thank you so much!
You're welcome!
Best. Thank you Sir. Helped a lot.
Glad it helped
Hey Bhupinder! This video was really helpful. I've one doubt, after doing this process and clearing the cloud storage, when we'll turn on the back up option again in Google photos- all the photos we have in the phone storage will again start uploading on the cloud?
Hi there. Good question. Yes, as soon as you turn ON the back up again, it'll start uploading all your photos & videos that are stored in your phone!
Thank you so much, your explanation is the only one that makes sense and I appreciate you so much for making this video!!
You're most welcome. Glad it was helpful! I put a lot of efforts in making this video as clear as possible as it's a very complicated thing to understand.
@@bhupindertube Yes I find that no one else could explain it the way you did, so I greatly appreciate it!
Thank you for making such a clear and helpful guide to such a bullshit problem from google :D
You have told us a very important thing.Thank you very much sir
Thanks and welcome
Thank you so much. But I still have a problem! After deleting it as instructed, it still says in google drive that google photos is taking up all the space.
Absolute gigachad, thanks
Thank you so much ❤
You're welcome 😊
Very informative and helpful thankyou! But I have a query.. what will happen if I turn on the back up afterwards to back up some future photos that I really want backed up online.. shall my previous cloud removed photos be deleted from my device?
Thank you..
It really helped ☺️❤
You're welcome 😊
Thank you . I wish you could mark photos rather than tapping on each end, individual photo such as hold one photo and drag down the screen
THANK YOU!!
You're welcome!
Great, many thanks!
Welcome!
this video is very good and helpful.
I'm glad you've found it helpful.

If I already backed up all photos from my Samsung to a portable drive, is there a faster way to delete some photos on Google and free up spaces? Thanks for your advice.
Thanks a lot bro 🥳❤️❤️
Any time
Thank you for this, turns out to be way more complicated than it should be, thanks google.
Glad it helped!

THANK YOU!!!!
thank you so much , you save my day
You're welcome!
It worked. Thank you.
Glad it helped
Thanks for the great video however once you turn the backup and sync to on, because you have taken more photos and want them saved to the Cloud, then the photos earlier deleted from the Cloud, will now sync and get deleted from your phone ie you always have to keep the back up turned off to stop this but then you are not backing up your photos anymore.
I'm glad you like the video and thanks for the comment. I would have to further investigate this issue. For example, could it be that Google Photos remembers what's deleted from the photos that are in Bin Folder? 👉 How to recover deleted photo from Google Photos - ruclips.net/video/9kVnGw_x0CM/видео.html . I wonder if you remove the photos from the bin (permanently delete), and then turn back ON the sync whether it'll still be able to delete from the phone? However, if you'd turn back on the sync then all your photos & videos will be backed up again - even the ones that you've already deleted from the cloud.
Instead, I recommend these steps 👇
1) Turn Off Google Sync - ruclips.net/video/MmCQJYRSWGA/видео.html
2) Download all your google photos & videos from the cloud - ruclips.net/video/rvwSsaAHxz8/видео.html
3) Backup all your downloaded photos & videos to 2 different external drives (2 copies) & store the SSD/HD Drives in 2 different locations (eg., 1 home & 2 office) for physical safety (SSD - ruclips.net/video/wUvrXOCi9WA/видео.html or hard drive - ruclips.net/video/Oqg8iUFJHsU/видео.html)
4) Delete All your photos & videos from Google Cloud as shown in 4:07 (IMPORTANT - TURN OFF SYCN FROM ALL YOUR DEVICES FIRST!)
Now, simply keep your sync off and use Google Photos app as a photo viewer/editor app only, happily ever after again! Any questions, please let me know?
thanks!!
You're welcome!
Thank you, Sir.
You are very welcome
Thanks for this video, I tried this method and it did work (deleted photos still stay in Apple Photos). BUT the deleted photos don’t show entirely in Google Photos gallery. In the video, the photos still show but just without the cloud icon (not backed up) 4:45 . On my device, the whole photo just doesn’t show entirely. Is there a way to unback up a photo but while the photo still shows in the Google Photos gallery? Pls help, thanks 😭🙏🏻
Thank you for that bro. But I want to delete some of my "view all". photos and videos, but I do not know how to delete it. When I press some of those photos or videos, there is no trash icon. How can I delete it?
Thank you so much for this! However I have a question. If I turn back up back on, won't be photo on my phone just be re-backed up to Google photos again?
You're most welcome. Yes, if you'd turn backup on again, then Google Photos will start to uploading all your photos again until it's full. I suggest you to instead manually backup to Google Photos when needed.
Thanks too much pro it works
You're welcome!
Thank you
You're welcome
Your video was very helpful. However when I try to delete some photos from Google Photos on my Apple iPhone I get a message that states “if deleted, they will also be deleted on the Apple iCloud. How do I prevent this? My goal is to have only some photos from my iPhone on Google Photo.
Hi it does work i used the very last step to open via chrome on Mobile phone, my question is i don't wanna keep pictures on Google photos that are already backed up, how i can delete them all in one go?
Hi. When you say google photos, do you mean google photos on your phone or cloud? Once you turn off the sync, google photos app on your phone is just used for viewing /editing the photos and videos on your phone.
@@bhupindertube i want to delete pics from Google photos application bcz it's constantly showing full storage everytime i open gmail, i have turned off back up
thank you for the solution, but if I turn the backup option back on, it would update my photos and delete the picture from device as well, right?
You're most welcome! No, it'll back them up again.
@@bhupindertube I meant the ones I just deleted from Google Photos, but not from the phone
THX!
You're most welcome!
not working 😢 it is deleting both cloud and device photos
even after turning of backup option
Tqsm man ❤
You're most welcome!
Thanks, but there is also a problem..if we use browser to delete on same phone then browser also can acess to phone's storage and can delete from device too..to avoid it, storage access permission to browser needs to be withdrawn.
But it will work for all photos except camera folder photos in Xiaomi, Vivo, oppo and realme.These phone have thier photo app integrated with google photos.
To work this trick , you just have to turn off your phone's photo app access in google photos app setting.
thank you
You're welcome
Hi..Im using pixel 6a and i followed your steps. I turned off back up in phone and deleted some photos from laptop browser llike u told and google still deleted them both in my phone and cloud.Kindly suggeste solution?
Hi, initially it was working but now everytime i click a picture it shows in google photos too and also get deleted from my gallery when i try to delete from google photos, although backup and sync is off
Yes it works but after i delite them from the browser why i still see them on app. Can they be clean from the app olso?
I have a doubt after deleting the items on PC "by turning of the backup" button, do they get removed from device when we turn backup option back on again on mobile?
Good question. When you say deleting the items from PC, do you mean from Google Photos on the PC? You have to turn off the backup in order to prevent the same photos from deleting from other devices, particularly the device were the original photos are saved. Then, after turning back ON the backup from the device where the original photos are saved, then those photos would be again backed up & get uploaded to the cloud.
I synced my photos to Google Photos suddenly it removed all the photos from my phone photo app. What should I do if I want to bring back the photos to my phone? specifically, the camera folder where it syncs automatically.
Hi if I turn off back up. But than turn it back on say in 6 months time will all photos taking on my phone in that time period automatically back up to the Google photos again? Could I just manually back up the photos I want to back up and keep ? Thanks for help
THANK YOU, note: i got confused and started deleting on the photos app wher eit shows the cloud icon, this does not work, u must delete photos on the browser and sign in t ogoogle photos there
Thanks
Welcome
Bro wrote an essay for short answer question 😂😂😂
What if I had disabled the app or hide it from the user through the ADB? Would that also work? Samsung already has a OneUI gallery and it's pity that after logging into your Google account, the Photos app would automatically opt-in for the backups. This wasn't the case with my Pixel 6a, thankfully.
Turn off back up.
I've had samsungs since the s3 (now on s23u) and never has google backup my photos without me letting it.
You probly said yes when it asked to back up during setup process.
Hi i need help
Thank you so much for this. (Why does it need to be so complicated? Oh wait I know… 💰)
You're most welcome. And yes, it's pretty complicated. But once you learn, it'll work to your benefit.
The web browser method doesnt show anything abt videos...the problem is how to delete videos on google photos and keep them on the device???
Hi bhupinder , even if i have turned off back up , the new photos from gallery are syncying to goggle photos
Hi. Please watch the video again from the start till the end. I explain clearly how it works. If there is something you don't understand, please let me know.
This is the reason why i hate internet online shit. Just put it on USB of a fotoalbum!
