how to delete multiple photos from icloud library?

I use icloud photos with multiple devices, including an iPhone 4, an iPad, a Macbook pro and two PCs.

My icloud library is too large, containing many duplicates (same photo taken several times) and many photos I don't want to keep.

Deleting photos from the library using the icloud library is a slow, cumbersome process.  I can only delete one at a time, each time taking 20 seconds or more, even with a high speed internet connection.

How can I select & delete several photos at once?

Hello rhwolfson,

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities!

It sounds like you want to be able to remove multiple pictures from iCloud Photo Library at the same time.  I will do my best to help find a solution for you.

The easiest way to remove multiple photos is to sign into iCloud.com on one of the computers you listed.  Once signed in, click on the photos icon.  When you are in the "Moments" view, you should see "Select Photos" in the upper right of the browser window. Click "Select Photos".  You should now be able to select multiple photos, and then click the "Delete" button that appears.  This should allow you to remove multiple photos at one time.

Have a great day!

That did it, thanks!  I found it was easier to do using a portable devic, e.g. an iPad, instead of a browse.

Anyway, it worled.  Thanks!

Shift-click doesn't work, it seems that Apple disabled that option. The only way to select all is clicking one by one.

I do not see the "Select Photos" in the upper right window. I want to delete multiple photos at once and not click one by one.

The capability to use Select was removed. The only way to select multiple photos now is to hold down the command key and click each photo.

You're right Eric - I can't believe Apple are sooooo short-sighted to remove this option so it feels to me like its a ploy to get you to upgrade your storage! Very distasteful.

You can use the + button under each date in moments to select them and then click off and hit delete. This at least reduces the amount of clicking somewhat.

Hi, I've just discovered quite fast way how to delete multiple photos in few seconds - on my device, iPhone 6 with 10.2.1. update I went to Photos - all - select and hold your finger on first photo and mark it, then move your finger diagonally and you should see all photos are being marked. I hope it works for you bros

I just spent some time on the phone with Apple. They confirmed it: There is no way to select a lot of photos in the icloud on a Mac and delete them. You have to do it one by one. Grr. But there is one shorter workaround.

My trouble was I kept on getting notifications to upgrade my iphoto (i.e., pay more) because my icloud was full. All I wanted was "My Photo Stream" option on (in photos preferences on a Mac), so only the latest would appear on my devices. I wanted the remainder of the older photos just on my hard drive. But since they were already up there on icloud, I kept on getting the full message.

I found one workaround to save a little time getting older photos off the icloud.

1. Set your preferences in photos on your Mac, ipad, etc., to "My Photo Stream."

2. Then get on your iphone, and open photos. (This would not even work on my ipad either, so iphone's it). Try "albums" first. You should be able to "select," "select" again, then hit the trash sign. If not, look at "Collections," and try it again. It gets rid of groups of photos.

3. Check in Albums whether you have one called "Trash." Delete it too.

4. Complain to Apple.

Absolute ******** Apple, so frustrated with this, ******* **** take! Now selling my ipad Air 2 and Iphone as already have 2 business online clouds that cost money, not ******* paying you as well just to store my own photos when I have storage.  Go ******* shoot yourselfs..........

Thanks!! This works and is way easier than one at a time.

Great information.  Viewing icloud.com on windows computer looking at pictures from new iPhone 7.  Looking at pictures in icloud.com using "CTRL" held down and selecting multiple pictures to be removed with mouse selections then clicking trash can.  Works quickly. Delighted to find work around from individual deleting pictures, one at a time.  Would be handy to have "Select" icon.
