True. I still don’t understand. I’m just going to save my photos on a flash drive. Apple just wants to stay in my pockets by charging me monthly for space that doesn’t accumulate if I’m paying every month.
Great explanation. Or, you could buy an external hard drive, back your photos up to that, avoid yet a mother monthly subscription payment and be responsible and in control of your own photos. But it was a very good explanation of how your photos are stored.

Thank you for clarifying what I suspected. It is mind boggling to me that Apple does not offer the option of removing from device but not Icloud but you are awesome for taking the time to explain clearly!
The 11 minutes and 58 seconds were all worth it! I watched tens of videos but still didn’t get the hang of it, but you explained it in the best way and now ik what I’m doing😂

To explain the optimisation, I have 7030 photos and 274 videos and when using the “optimised storage” setting (thumb nail) I’m using approximately 9GB of storage on my device, but using approximately 52GB of iCloud storage. When I switch to “download and keep originals” setting I’m using 57GB of storage on my device and still 52GB of iCloud storage. Be aware it is your videos that take up most of the storage space. To free up space by deleting unwanted photos you will not free up space for 30 days unless you further delete the deleted photos by going in to the recently deleted album and deleting the photos again.
No, you can't replicate Google's behavior - that's not how iCloud Photo Library works. You either sync everything or you sync nothing. You cannot partially sync or download.
Excellent Video thankyou so much! I ended up deleting almost 40GB of data without even touching my photos. I always thought photos were the issue but thanks to you i now know they are not! Thanks again

Hi! How do I delete photos without deleting them on iCloud? The only way I know is by disabling iCloud. But what happens if I enabled iCloud again after I have emptied my photos. Will the photos on iCloud stay or deleted- mirroring my now empty photo gallery? Thanks!
You can't delete photos or videos from your device if you have iCloud Photos enabled. You're not supposed to do that as I explained in my video. To answer your question - if you disable iCloud Photos, then delete photos and turn iCloud Photos back on, your deleted photos will either come back or get deleted from iCloud too.
You mentioned that if a photo is deleted from iPhone it also gets deleted from iCloud backup so what is the point of backup then? Even if we have plenty of storage on iCloud, the phone will eventually run out of storage if we can’t delete the photos from iPhone? I’m confused.
The main point of my video was to explain that you do NOT need to delete photos or videos from your iPhone as iCloud will take care of storage management :)
I have 2TB iCloud storage but even with optimising pictures the storage in my iPhone is full ( photos) … how do I use the iCloud space and free up storage on my phone !
So, photos that still taking up iPhone's storage even though my iCloud photos library is on is the photos from another applications like whatsapp and twitter? Is there anyway to made these kind of photos to only go to the cloud and not taking up my iPhone storages?
"photos that still taking up iPhone's storage even though my iCloud photos library is on" - No, not necessarily as I've explained in the video. "Is there anyway to made these kind of photos to only go to the cloud and not taking up my iPhone storages" No, there is not.
Thank you so much for this extremely informative video. I had a few questions I was hoping you could help me with. My iCloud library has more photos than my iPhone library. 1. When I delete stuff from my phone, even though my iCloud photos backup is enabled, why doesn’t it delete those files from iCloud? 2. Alternatively, if I delete from iCloud, will it also delete from my phone? 3. Basically I want my iCloud and phone library to be the same (and changes in my phone device library to reflect in iCloud as well). How do I do this? Thank you in advance :) hope you’re safe and well
Hi Pooja, when you say "my iCloud Photos Backup is enabled," what do you mean? There is no such thing as a photo backup in iCloud. There is iCloud Photo Library and assuming it's turned on, it should keep everything in sync, including deletions. If you just recently turned on iCloud Photo Library, it might still be synchronizing. If so, the Photos.app on your iPhone will tell you that. 2) Yes 3) All you need to do is turn iCloud Photo Library on and wait for your photos to sync. Depending on the size of your library and your internet connection, that might take a while. Cheers, Michael
What if i selected the “Optimize photos” feature but the photos are still in my iPhone storage. Icloud shows that they’re in the cloud but they are still locally on my device. I recently switched from Android to IOS and used the Move To IOS app. Not sure if that helps.
Hi Luis, iOS will ultimately remove them from your iPhone to make space for new photos. If you access older photos from your iPhone, iOS will download and temporarily store them locally again. All of that happens automatically and there is nothing you'll have to do.
This is a great video. I have a question if you could help me out. So I turned off my iCloud Photo Library thinking that removing my photos from my phone would help my storage problem. But it turns out the storage is still there but the videos and pics are off my phone. They are on my iCloud account when I log in on iCloud on my computers or safari but they’re not in my phone. So I turned back on my iCloud photo, figuring that I just get the pictures and videos back and patiently wait for them to be downloaded to google photos and then I can disable iCloud once and for all. My problem is that I don’t know how to get my iCloud photos back on my iphone and I’m afraid that if I hook my phone to my computer and it gives me an option to download the pictures, it will just take up more space. Now it’s in a mode of uploading whatever that wasn’t removed to iCloud. When I restart my phone it tells me “Updating paused for 14,211 items” and then it goes back to uploading the items that were not removed. I don’t know if I have to be patient for them to be update to be resumed so the photos can go back to my phone or if after this upload, then they are going to resume the update and be uploaded back on my phone. Can you help me out with this problem if possible? Please and thank you!
You just have to be patient and wait for the library to sync. I know it says “uploading” but it’s actually synchronizing! Just give it a few days, depending on your internet connection.
Hi i have a question. My photos are taking up my icloud storage and not my actual phone storage. I have so much free storage on my phone but for some reason all my photos are on my icloud storage and now my phone isnt backing up. How do i remove them from the icloud storage and onto my actual phone storage? It will be great help, thanks!
Yes it’s very confusing and annoying, so I use google photos. I don’t let it sync, and I delete from phone thru google photos. They then remain on google photos, but gone from phone/device, can download easily if needed on any of your devices, pc, Mac, whatever.
Im using iphone 5, 16gb. My problem is each app is eating memory on my phone in my 16gb. How to clear data or clear cache each app without reinstalling the app. My phone is gpp. RESET ADVICE is not advisable if your gonna mention that. Pls help
I'm not sure what to tell you other than deleting some of the apps you have or upgrading to a phone with more storage. I don't know that there is anything in between that might help you. Removing app-specific caches is certainly not something you can easily do in general, unless the app has such a feature.
problem is photos disappeared automattically not deleted before that iphone was show low storage. icloud was turned off already no photos uploaded on icloud. any way to get them photos back???? in genral storage it stillshows 12gb but in photo gallry nothing
I’m not sure if this was mentioned in the video but my greatest problem is the amount of GB my phone use for photos even though I have 2TB icloud. It seems that the GB in my ipad is much lower than my phone. Please help me solve this problem. Have to delete apps in order to store photos and sync them on icloud
Ah now i understand what optimized mean on ios, no more worry about storage on my phone even my phone still have lots of space, thanks for the explanation, best!

Hi, let’s say I pay for 200GB iCloud and have 15000 photos and videos, synced all across my iPhone, Mac, iPad. (Just an example) But let’s say iCloud got full, and I don’t want to pay for 2TB. Instead, I want to remove most of these files from iCloud using the Photos app on the Mac. As you explained, I can export those files to an external drive, and then I can remove them from iCloud. Is that a correct understanding? But my question is: I DO want to use the Photos app on Mac to view and organise those files that were removed from iCloud, simple because the Photos app is a great way to see albums, see where the pictures were taken, it also recognises faces etc. Basically, I would like to understand if I can manage both iCloud and external hard drive photos and videos with the same Photos app, but the external hard drive pictures should NOT be synced back to icloud. Is it possible? What are the drawbacks etc.? Can you please write a slightly detailed explanation as to what and how can I do with the Photos app regarding this scenario? And a 2nd question if you don’t mind: can I pay for 200GB but share this with my wife? Thank you! Ps.: icloud is the worst explained product from Apple. i still have something called Photo Stream on some of my devices, I don’t even understand how that fits into this picture, and also add “camera roll” on top, just as icing on the cake. with my wife we are just lost, so much so that we started using a 3rd party cloud service (pcloud) to upload all our photos to a shared folder, and then we manually organise from there. You are just looking at this icloud confusion and don’t know what workflow is safe and efficient. And I think many people have the same experience. Why on earth Apple didn’t put eg. a help video explaining all these this, straight into the app.
Hi Steven, you can create and manage two separate libraries with the Photos app - one can be synched and the other one would be local to your Mac. To create a second library, hold down the OPTION key and click on the Photos.app icon to launch it. Once you have two libraries, you can export items from the system library (the one that's synched), delete them from there and then import them into the newly created library. Unfortunately, switching back and forth between the libraries requires a restart of the Photos.app using the method (OPTION key) I mentioned above. With Family Sharing, you can share iCloud Storage with family members. PS: Photostream is legacy technology that I've disabled on all of my devices because it's been replaced with iCloud Photos. Cheers, Michael
@@MichaelKummer thank you, that’s very valuable! I had a think, and I came to the conclusion that no matter what, iCloud WILL get full at some point, it’s an unavoidable fact, unless you regularly get images out from iCloud. It’s not the question of IF but WHEN. If not in the next 1-2 years, then in 3-5 years. Therefore, my thinking is that I should only pay for the cheapest 50GB, and use iCloud as a temporary system, and have the discipline to get images out let’s say quarterly. 50GB should be enough for 3 months, organising photos every 3 months is doable (and quite frankly it’s useful) and the money I save by not paying $9.99 / month can be spent on a 1 or even 2 massive backup drives. Anyway.. Have a great 2022
guys just back up your photos.. u can get google photos, microsoft onedrive, and u can even put 15gb worth of pic and videos into a google drive( same as google photos ). this really worked for me....
@michael kummer if I have enough iCloud storage but I want to upload the original (instead of “optimizing”) will it still free up space on my phone to use iCloud storage? THANK YOU IN ADVANCE! Very great explanation!
Hey Naimah! The Optimize vs. Originals only determines how images are stored on your iPhone/Mac (full resolution vs. optimized). But regardless of that setting, iCloud will always store the full resolution images. Makes sense?
@@MichaelKummer absolutely! Thank you. I purchased 2tb of space but because I have over 30k photos on my phone they aren’t all updating. Lesson learned. Purchase storage, toggle synch and then click away!
I’ve just bought 200 gb of iCloud space. So my photos have synced from my iPhone to my iPad. How come since my photos have gone onto my iPad my gb left on my iPad have decreased. I thought it was in the cloud or something or other?
Your iPad downloads and removes photos and videos on demand. So it might have downloaded some items you have recently viewed. Don’t worry though, it’ll clean up after itself as you need the space for other data.
I don’t see how your photos could be on iCloud and not on your phone. Unless, of course, if you disabled iCloud Photo Library, deleted photos from your phone and now you want the deleted photos back. But I doubt that’s what’s going on here.
Heyy! I’m using my iPad if it turn off iCloud photos will it delete on my moms phone? we use the same iCloud and email and almost everything I’m really scared if I turn it off and it will get rid of my moms photos since we share photos since we have the same iCloud will it delete on my moms phone if I turn it off on my iPad? Please tell me before I make a wrong move (my mom has work on her phone that’s why)

That's not a supported use case and doing so will likely get you into troubles. That said, if you want to take the risk of losing all your photos/videos, you can turn iCloud Photos on your iPhone off, then delete all photos/videos and NEVER turn iCloud Photos back on again. If you do, all the deletions will get replicated to iCloud.

Great video. I have a question though. If I’ve often imported photos from my phone to my Mac. If I turn on iCloud photos on both devices how does it handle that? Does it recognize them as duplicates and only upload one version to iCloud? Or will I wind up with a bunch of duplicates?
That depends on how you imported those photos. If you imported them directly into the Photos app on your Mac, then Photos will likely be able to identify the dupes. Otherwise, you might end up with duplicates.
@@MichaelKummer Thanks for replying! Yes they were imported directly in to the Photos app (or iPhoto back in the day). If I were to wind up with thousands of duplicates how do I “undo” that? What I’m afraid of is that there isn’t a good way to do that? I do have Power Photos though which is good at finding duplicates. I have the main library on an external drive (400+GB) and a backup copy on another external drive. I haven’t done an import in a year. (I used to do it all the time but I have no space issue on my phone and they’re backed up to Google Photos). I’m thinking maybe I should import those from the phone in to my backup copy so that at least I have one clean complete library that won’t be a part of the iCloud Photos experiment? Then turn it on my iPhone and on my Mac and cross my fingers on duplicates? If I wind up with duplicates I can see if either Photos or Power Photos can find and remove the duplicates. If not then I somehow erase that iCloud Library everywhere, copy my backup library to my usual external drive, turn iCloud Photos back on using that library. My only slight concern about being extra likely to wind up with Duplicates is that I’ve used Power Photos in the past to merge two Photos libraries in to one Photos Library and remove duplicates in the process...so I have no idea if any kind of folder structure could have been altered from the original imports although I sort of doubt it...it probably just uses one and not the other but both were in the same location would be my guess. What do you think? Btw, I called Apple and two people said I wouldn’t get duplicates but I wasn’t sure how much I trusted their answer. They both seemed unsure about understanding what I was asking.
@@amoore2165 You could try adding keywords to all photos and videos in your external library before importing those images into iCloud. That way, you can easily identify all tagged images and remove them if they end up as duplicates.
If I turn off my iCloud photos will the photos/videos that got deleted from my camera roll be in my recently deleted folder? Please help, before I make a wrong decision.
I’ve never tried that. If you need to restore any of your deleted items, I’d do that first, let everything sync up and then disable iCloud Photo Library.
so, the cloud is really not a backup but sort of a fail safe? If i did not use the cloud I could delete from my phone but still have all my photos on my computer and thus the backup hard drive? the benefit to icloud is simply the sharing of my photos with all my devices? This is the first time i have understood this. Thanks for your vid. as I thought i could delete from my phone and still keep a copy on the cloud. I'd have been in trouble except for my time machine, lol. I may look into Google. Thanks man .
Correct, it's not a backup per se but a fail-safe. If you disable iCloud Photo Library, you won't get all the photos synced to your computer, unless you do that manually.
Hi! I have a problem with my iCloud. I recently just expanded my iCloud storage to 50gb but it turns out that it’s a monthly subscription. When I tried to cancel the subscription it said that all of my pics will be deleted eventually and I really can’t keep paying for the subscription. Is there a way to move all of my pics from iCloud to the phone storage so i wouldn’t be afraid of them getting deleted? Thank you!

good article on apple storage. Do you have a solution to the problem that my iphone also backs up to my google photo app on my iphone and if i try and delete from my google photo app on my iphone any photos then it also deletes it from my iphone photo album.
We have 2 TB of iCloud storage and optimized storage is set on all of our devices. It's been that way for years. It's never made a difference. Every phone and iPad is always on the verge of being maxed on storage because of the photos
Hey Darlene, a screenshot on my iPhone requires about as much space as a photo. So yes, you can certainly fill up your local and cloud storage with screenshots as much as you can fill it up with photos.
One of the most important aspects of this type of set up his time machine. You didn’t mention anything about Time Machine. Time Machine is a critical element of this because if it’s always plugged in then even if you delete a photo at some point assuming Time Machine has run in the interim then there’s a copy there.
I’m all for a reliable backup strategy but I’ve stopped using Time Machine a few years ago and lieu of an off-site solution from Backblaze. Time Machine is great but lacks performance for large photo libraries. I sync my full library every day via Chronosync and have found that to be more efficient.

Nope, when you turn iPhone 1 back on, it’ll sync with iCloud and remove the local photos you deleted before. What matter is the time stamp of those changes. Whatever happened last will get synced.

Hi, I recently bought a 50GB icloud space this morning. I tried syncing my photos to my icloud but it’s been 8hrs now and it’s still at 1%. Do you have any advice how I can fix this? Thanks in advance!
Icloud sync s only at night when you are in sleep and when its wifi on i think. It realises that you dont touched the phone for a while, wifi is connected and its starts
Best explanations! I would appreciate tho if you would answer a question I have for a while which is is there any way for me to delete the icloud photos backup so that i can free up 4GB of my icloud and NOT delete them from the iPhone gallery?
Hi Gustavo, no, you can't delete photos from iCloud Photo Library (cloud) without having the photos automatically removed from all other devices that have iCloud Photo Library enabled.
My ipad is full. I have bought the 2TB. I want my ipad to be free and my videos and photos uploaded on the Cloud so my ipad can be free. What do you recommend.
So helpful But I wanted to ask if you didn't turn on the icloud at all and it's still 5gb on my iPhone7 and then I deleted the pics from recently deleted that means that they're gone forever or what?
I don’t understand , how i delete 4K in photos and all my videos they are in the cloud , but the iCloud is full i thought deleting from my phone wud free my phone up
If you are out of iCloud storage, you can delete photos and videos directly from iCloud.com (log in using a PC or Mac). Also make sure you delete the deleted photos and videos from the "Recently Deleted" album. That should free up space and make iCloud sync work again. You can also, temporarily, purchase more iCloud storage, delete everything you want to from your iPhone and then downgrade again.
Hi, how can I lower my iPhone photo storage? Also can I use google one instead of ICloud since it’s cheaper? If I can, how would I be able to do that. If I do choose to do that, can I always retrieve the photos any times I want from google photos? Thank You
To reduce the amount of storage your photos and videos use, you can either manually delete or offload them or enable iCloud Photo Library. I have never used Google for photo storage, so I don't know how it compares. However, I'm pretty sure it won't be as integrated into iOS and macOS as iCloud Photos is.
So if i want to free up space from ICLOUD and i have sync ON can I delete them from the iPhone will they be removed from iCloud??? Which is what i want to do
My first recommendation would be to stop sharing an iCloud account. Once you've deleted the photos from your phone, those deletion will get synced to the cloud. You can also remove the deleted photos from the Recently Deleted album to make sure they're gone forever.
I think iCloud is, simply put, a complete fucking mess! I just hated that concept from the very beginning! Just because I take a picture with my phone, or download one, that doesn’t mean that I want that picture synced on all my other devices! Assuming that is simply retarded! I want to manage my pictures the way I see fit and not the way Apple thinks is most appropriate! Why would I want that control taken away from me? How can many people condescend to be coerced by Apple into paying a fee (on a monthly basis, nonetheless!) to get more storage and at the same time have their freedom of choice limited! Just Absurd!
Hi , Thank you so much for great explanation. I have a question. I have just upgraded to 50 GB iCloud storage plan. I have uploaded all the 5k photos from iphone to iCloud. Optimize storage in on and i have low resolution photos on iPhone. Now i want to import these 5k photos to my windows PC. How can i do it bcz photos are in low resolution and I want full resolution in window pc? Plz guide.
What gallery? You mean from your phone? No, they won’t be removed from your phone but I always recommend letting the sync finish but Apple’s software isn’t free of bugs and strange things can happen (that shouldn’t).
Something still not clear: if you upload to iCloud, once you decide to close the account… do you have to download all the pictures manually to the device? Will it do automatically? I’ve been thinking of getting iCloud for a brief period just so I can download the oldest pics to my computer and backup drive (with windows the phone app fails most of the times to import)
Michael thanks a lot for your time in explanation :) I have one photo in Iphone and the same photo in iCloud. In my iPhone its 3.5 MB but in iCloud its 1 mb. Does iCloud compresses the photos when uploading from iPhone? Is it normal ?
If you are storing the full resolution photos on your Mac - isn’t the storage upgrade quite expensive or do you to connect an external hdd or ssd and allow iCloud Photo Library to sync with that?
I want my photos on my phone only , but i’m scared to delete it from iCloud because i got an notification from iCloud to download my photo before 30 days , and I don’t know how to do it :(
Make sure you have iCloud Photo Library enabled on your iPhone with "Download Originals" turned on. Once everything is synced up, disable iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone and delete whatever you want from iCloud.com (browser). Just keep in mind that if you ever turn iCloud Photo Library back on (on your iPhone), it might remove everything that you previously deleted from iCloud. Overall, I don't think that's a smart move. I'd rather pay a few bucks for more iCloud storage, if storage space is an issue right now.
Thanks for your explanation! This makes me think of this scenario: Lets say hypothetically our iphone has 64gb physical storage and we have 100gb icloud storage. And we only sync photos between the iphone and icloud. Say we have 64gb of photos (theoritically), causing physical storage to be at 100%, and now icloud storage is 64/100gb used. Now let me take some photos using my iPad which is also connected to icloud. icloud now is 65/100gb used, but because my iphone is full, i won't be able to "see" those iPad taken photos because my iphone has no space to sync. Is this correct?
Nope, that’s not correct because with iCloud Photo Library enabled, your iPhone doesn’t store the full library locally. It only keeps the most recent photos and videos. Everything else gets downloaded on-demand (when you open a photo/video from the Photos app).

Hello my old photos and albums came back I don’t know how it happened, I think it was because I clicked “Optimise IPhone Storage” I’m not really sure but basically all my old photos are coming back and I can’t back up my phone please help me out
It's hard to tell what happened but I assume you enabled iCloud Photo Library and that caused your iPhone to download (old) images you had stored in the cloud. But that in itself doesn't prevent you from making backups. So I don't know what you mean.
First, you need to determine what app is storing 1.36GB worth of photos. To do that, open Preferences > General > iPhone Storage and wait a few seconds for the information to load. Then check the list of apps that use most data and go from there. Cheers, Michael
Hi sorry for asking but I really need help.. if I disable and delete my iCloud photos .. will the photos in my device (iPhone photos gallery) be deleted too ? Or it just delete it in the iCloud ?
That depends on several factors. If you disable iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone and then delete all photos, then those photos will be gone from your phone but remain in iCloud. If you disable iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone but then delete all photos from iCloud via iCloud.com (or another device that has iCloud Photo Library enabled), then they would remain on your iPhone for as long as you DO NOT re-enable iCloud Photo Library. Of course, these are just two of numerous examples on how you could go about it.
Hi I just had a question. Is there a way to delete photos from iCloud without having them deleted on your iPhone? Is there a way to unlink them? I once tried ( a long time ago) tried to delete photos from my mom’s iPhone when I thought I had done this and ended up accidentally deleting like almost half of her photos. My parents have their iCloud on and was wondering if there was just a way to leave the photos on the iPhone. And yes I deleted them from the recently deleted too.
No there is not. You either sync everything or nothing. If nothing (iCloud Photo Library turned off) you can delete photos from either iCloud or iPhone without affecting the other side, but none of your new photos or changes to photos would get synched either.
Michael Kummer what happens if I have an old iPhone with photos and I wanna use a different Apple ID. How would I prevent the iCloud from automatically turning on and syncing all of the photos one there?
No...clicking on an image doesn't have anything to do with uploading it to iCloud. Images are uploaded as soon as you take them if iCloud Photos is enabled, if you're connected to WiFi and if you have enough battery power.
I use my iPad for work and I would like to not see my iPhone photos in the Photos app on my iPad and instead just see the captures and saves I have that are work-related on my iPad. Is there a way I can “hide” or remove all the photos on my new iPad and keep iPad-exclusive photos there? Sorry if this is a complex Q. Great video and explanation! 👍🏽

When I zoom it a little bit again it get back to the original resolution. Is this problem is in every iPhone . And how to fix this plzzzzz let me know .. Thanks
Hi Rehan, I thought I had replied already but now I don't see the comment anymore. Anyway - I've never seen this issue before. So if you're certain that iCloud Photos is turned off and all of your images are stored on your local device, I'd get in touch with Apple support so they can check out what's going on.
Thank you so much for this videos it almost explain everything but I hav a question as you said after optmizing full resolution photos will be downloaded on demand when we open it what if wifi or mobile data is off at that time will it show only lower resolution or thumbnail 2) My iphone has 64 gb pur of which only 30 gb is filled and than alao I hav choose. to optimize my photos and saves 2gb of storage on it now when I go to photos I dont feel they are of low resolution even videos dont load they open directly so is lower resolution happens why when iphone is low pn storage ??? Also I dont find any size difference in photos app like if a photo is pf lower resolution as you said after optimizing than it should be of lesser size . Please answer my questions
Hi Mohit! 1) When you're offline (no WiFi or Cellular connection), the phone won't be able to show full-res images and you'll only see thumbnails. 2) Correct. Your phone will keep full-res images until you run low on storage. At that point, local full-res images will be replaced on-demand by low-res thumbnails.
-With the help of --#HACKGOD0173--# on instagram I was able to that my baby were cheating on me when I sat and make a research on who to help but suddenly he help can't explain how he did it but I was shucked-
So I am going to upgrade my iPhone soon. If I backup my current iPhone and am using iCloud photos, will I be able to see all those pictures on the new phone?
Hi Michael, my iPhone, iPad and now my new MacBook Pro are all synced up with all of my photos on every device. I’ve just got my new MacBook and don’t want any photos on it from my other Apple devices. Can I turn off iCloud photo sharing on my MacBook Pro, delete them from there nd they’ll remain in the iCloud and on my other devices? Thank you :)
