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.
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
@@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 TH-cam channel account So they delete my videos on TH-cam channel or not? I say no
So what happens when 60 days pass to the videos that where in the trash? I hate this because I have so many and I don't really want to delete them just so more can get synced
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!!!!!
@@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.
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.
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!
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!
actually PHENOMENAL tutorial. right to the point, has timestamps and captions, and most importantly... works. my google account is finally usable again, no longer 12GB of photos that i have backed up on another cloud + useless screenshots that don't need to be backed up at all..... god.... 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!
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!
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.
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 TH-cam. Thank you very much! Im so happy it works even if it's June 29, 2024 now.💜
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 - th-cam.com/video/u2_lX3Jp8I4/w-d-xo.html Or if you want to download all your photos to your computer from Google Photos Cloud in one go - th-cam.com/video/rvwSsaAHxz8/w-d-xo.html

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 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.

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.
hello I did exactly as you did on your video however when I want to delete the photos on PC and I select them then I click on the trash icon to delete nothing simply happens (only this either with a single photo or 20) I really don't understand can you help me? Thanks
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 👍👏
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?
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.
@@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.
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.
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.
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 - th-cam.com/video/9kVnGw_x0CM/w-d-xo.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 - th-cam.com/video/MmCQJYRSWGA/w-d-xo.html 2) Download all your google photos & videos from the cloud - th-cam.com/video/rvwSsaAHxz8/w-d-xo.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 - th-cam.com/video/wUvrXOCi9WA/w-d-xo.html or hard drive - th-cam.com/video/Oqg8iUFJHsU/w-d-xo.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?
I don't think it should? I tried this with a video I didn't care about and it looks like it's still on my phone but not taking up storage. And I did go and permanently delete it from google photos. Not sure if how it works as a long term thing tho?
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?
Thanks. My issue is I use gallery and made albums in there. But I notice MANY OF MY PHOTOS DISSAPPEAR from albums after a while. Does Google photos pull them out so I HAVE TO GO TO GOOGLE PHOTOS TO SEE THEM.?? ITS NOT A STORAGE ISSUE, I HAVE ROOM BUT IT GEYS ME MAD BECSUSE THEY DISSAPEAR FROM GALLERY ALBUMS.
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
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. If we turn back up on the photos we already deleted from photos but not device will be deleted too? Also currently I have photos in my Google photos, PC and phone so what's happening in that case?
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?
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.
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
I did the same thing on my realme phone with backup turned off. But as soon as i delete a photo on my browser(google photos) the photo gets deleted in my phones gallery too. Please helo me out😢😢😢😭
This is no longer working for me. want only certain photos on my phone. I have turned off my back up and it has been off for months now. I try this method and I am still deleting photos from my google photo account and my phone, yet those that I did several months ago no longer show on google photos as I had intended. I can't do the rest and I am frustrated as all get up. Help.
Hi bhupinder. I am trying the solutions given. however, after selecting a photo to delete in the google photos browser, i cant delete the picture even when i press the trash/delete symbol. seems like access is not allowed. Nothing appear when i press the delete button. Please assist.
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.
If you delete from the Google Photos Cloud & then turn back ON the backup, then all the photos from your phone will start backing up again, even the ones that you've deleted from the Cloud. However, if you delete from the phone, but not the cloud, & then turn back on the backup then the photos from the cloud would start appearing in the google photos app but they're still stored in the cloud rather than the phone unless you download them.

1) Turn Off Google Sync - th-cam.com/video/MmCQJYRSWGA/w-d-xo.html
2) Download all your google photos & videos from the cloud - th-cam.com/video/rvwSsaAHxz8/w-d-xo.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 - th-cam.com/video/wUvrXOCi9WA/w-d-xo.html or hard drive - th-cam.com/video/Oqg8iUFJHsU/w-d-xo.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?
I have a question, after deleting it and after 60 days, it'll be permanently deleted on google photos, will it affect the ones in my gallery?
I don't think it should? I tried this with a video I didn't care about and it looks like it's still on my phone but not taking up storage. And I did go and permanently delete it from google photos. Not sure if how it works as a long term thing tho?
@potato8631 thank you !
Thank you very much! Does this work for videos too? It's not working for me for videos.

You have told us a very important thing.Thank you very much sir
Thanks and welcome
Excellent, solved the problem, well explained and it did practically solve the issue!
Most welcome 😊
If i turn on backup after use you steps, the photos in gallery will delete or not?
So if i later turned on the backup the photos i deleted from cloud automatically delete from my device ??? Or not please reply
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?
Happened to me. Once I turn on backup after a week all the old deleted automatically. This options is useless .
Thank u so much!! U explained everything and it really worked!!!
Thanks. My issue is I use gallery and made albums in there. But I notice MANY OF MY PHOTOS DISSAPPEAR from albums after a while. Does Google photos pull them out so I HAVE TO GO TO GOOGLE PHOTOS TO SEE THEM.?? ITS NOT A STORAGE ISSUE, I HAVE ROOM BUT IT GEYS ME MAD BECSUSE THEY DISSAPEAR FROM GALLERY ALBUMS.
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. Really helpful for managing my photos
Happy to help!
Thank youuu sooo much for this!! It really works!!
Glad it helped!
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. If we turn back up on the photos we already deleted from photos but not device will be deleted too? Also currently I have photos in my Google photos, PC and phone so what's happening in that case?
Yup it worked perfectly. Thanks for the information:)
You're welcome!
It works. But what if we need to turn on the backup again? Will the deleted photos get deleted from the phone after doing that or will they stay?
perfect and easy solution, thank you 👍
what if i turned the backup back from google photoes on? will the pictures i deleted from pc browser be deleted from my device ??
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!
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.
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
I did the same thing on my realme phone with backup turned off. But as soon as i delete a photo on my browser(google photos) the photo gets deleted in my phones gallery too. Please helo me out😢😢😢😭
VERY HELPFUL BROTHER, THANKS A LOT
This is no longer working for me. want only certain photos on my phone. I have turned off my back up and it has been off for months now. I try this method and I am still deleting photos from my google photo account and my phone, yet those that I did several months ago no longer show on google photos as I had intended. I can't do the rest and I am frustrated as all get up. Help.
Thank you bro 😢❤
Now what if I turn the backup back on? Does that delete the photos from my device?
Hi bhupinder. I am trying the solutions given. however, after selecting a photo to delete in the google photos browser, i cant delete the picture even when i press the trash/delete symbol. seems like access is not allowed. Nothing appear when i press the delete button. Please assist.
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
I cannot wait to try this. I have lost so many pics.
Why does google make this shit so complicated for no reason? Why would the default choice be to delete from backup AND your device? stupid af
Can i turn on the back up after deleting ?
Video is nice and helpful. But sentences are more complex to understand. But it helpful
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.
Thank you so much 🙏
It really works and helped me a lot ❤
Glad to hear that

Would all the photos that i delete to save space came back if i turn on the backup on again?
If you delete from the Google Photos Cloud & then turn back ON the backup, then all the photos from your phone will start backing up again, even the ones that you've deleted from the Cloud. However, if you delete from the phone, but not the cloud, & then turn back on the backup then the photos from the cloud would start appearing in the google photos app but they're still stored in the cloud rather than the phone unless you download them.
Thank you. I will delete most photos on Google Accounts and don't wanna use Google Photos App on my phone again😢
Thank you sooo much. Very helpful video👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
