I would like to delete all of my photos from icloud immediately. The only way I have found to do this is select each individual picture and delete it. There does not seem to be a select all option anymore.
I already know about this. I just don't want to have to wait 30 days.
On your iDevice/s (iPhone, iPad, etc), go to Settings > Photos & Camera > and turn off the "iCloud Photo Library" option.
On a Mac you can open System Preferences -> iCloud Click the "Manage..." button in the bottom right corner and then disable and delete the iCloud Photo Library.
Well, I made a small script which do the job. It's simple as a pie, but "just works" ©. Script is implemented using AHK, so you need to be a bit familiar with AHK concept and be able to properly set it up.
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
#Warn ; Enable warnings to assist with detecting common errors.
#SingleInstance force
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
^!z::
Loop, 30
{
Click
Sleep 1000
Send {Del}
Send {Tab}
Send {Enter}
Sleep 1000
}
^!z:: here is the hotkey that starts the script (Ctrl-Alt-Z) and 30 is a number of loop iterations (number of photos to delete).
Prior to starting the script you should position mouse cursor on the upper left photo, for it to work.
I tested it just now and it deleted 1600 photos brilliantly.
Can't be done. Must delete one at a time. Thanks Apple
