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 UA-cam channel account So they delete my videos on UA-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 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!
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!
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 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.
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!
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 UA-cam. Thank you very much! Im so happy it works even if it's June 29, 2024 now.💜
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.
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 - ua-cam.com/video/u2_lX3Jp8I4/v-deo.html Or if you want to download all your photos to your computer from Google Photos Cloud in one go - ua-cam.com/video/rvwSsaAHxz8/v-deo.html

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.
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 😭🙏🏻
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 👍👏
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.
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?
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.
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?
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?
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 - ua-cam.com/video/9kVnGw_x0CM/v-deo.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 - ua-cam.com/video/MmCQJYRSWGA/v-deo.html 2) Download all your google photos & videos from the cloud - ua-cam.com/video/rvwSsaAHxz8/v-deo.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 - ua-cam.com/video/wUvrXOCi9WA/v-deo.html or hard drive - ua-cam.com/video/Oqg8iUFJHsU/v-deo.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?
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.
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
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
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.
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
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

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 .
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?

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 - ua-cam.com/video/MmCQJYRSWGA/v-deo.html
2) Download all your google photos & videos from the cloud - ua-cam.com/video/rvwSsaAHxz8/v-deo.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 - ua-cam.com/video/wUvrXOCi9WA/v-deo.html or hard drive - ua-cam.com/video/Oqg8iUFJHsU/v-deo.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?

Life saver video. Thank you so so much.
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
Thanks you so much for the help 🥰
You’re welcome 😊
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
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.
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
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
Thanks so much! You are a saviour!
Great, many thanks!
