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.

[@CartoonWeasel]

You have to delete it from a browser. If you use the phone app it will delete both. Use a pc ​@@TheOpinionationer

[@loomonda18]

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!!

[@bhupindertube]

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 most welcome. It's astonishingly complicated to delete photos.

[@ironyman78]

I explicitly do not backup to cloud, but it is required if editing with Magic Editor or sharing. As backup is off, and the photos are backed up manually, removing them from the cloud does not remove from device. Great video, explains well how it works!

[@bhupindertube]

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.

Excellent, solved the problem, well explained and it did practically solve the issue!

[@manishkukreja9683]

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?

[@bhupindertube]

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!

You're welcome!

[@andythomas7931]

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.

[@bhupindertube]

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 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5y5n3qtlN1jea8 . 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 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/g56mgn2Ph7iKfaM 2) Download all your google photos & videos from the cloud - kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKfahKaXdq2rsJo 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 - kzbin.info/www/bejne/rYbZo4uFeM5sjaM or hard drive - kzbin.info/www/bejne/haLKaZyLe697qbc) 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?

[@HinavAB]

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?

[@hariprasad2010]

Happened to me. Once I turn on backup after a week all the old deleted automatically. This options is useless .

[@bhupindertube]

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.

@@bhupindertube How do you manually backup to Google Photos? Also....I can't download all my photos/videos to my laptop because I don't have enough memory. Is there anyway to back them up straight to an external hard drive from an android phone. I have a Motorola Moto G Stylus 5G phone.

That's so useful!!!! I have a question though. Let's say we turned backup off and delete the photos we wanted from Google photos.

THE ONLY TUTORIAL THAT WORKED HUHU

[@ryan74458]

THANK YOU! This whole system is unbelievably shady. Google is obviously obfuscating things on purpose to make people worried about deleting things from their device. This whole process could have been as simple as a single button press, but instead they make you jump through hoops because they can't make it easy to stop using their services. On top of everything, there's no way to select all photos on the desktop web app. So after you figure out that the mobile app lacks the most basic functionality of deleting photos from BACKUP ONLY and not local storage, you have to know to use the web app, then scroll down and select chunks of images at a time, but not TOO large of chunks or the shift + click functionality will break. Fuck Google, this whole thing pisses me off.
