It's unfathomable that Google doesn't have a 'purge all' option in Google Photos. It's completely unacceptable that in order for you to delete your photos you need to manually go through all your photos and select each one.

Ihad no idea all my photos were on Google photos until a notification popped up on my phone. I feel violated.

[orangesnowman]

The fact that Google doesnt let you select all photos at once is ridiculous!

Just noticed my photos were uploaded to Google photos. Really creepy.

HOW TO DELETE PHOTOS IN GOOGLE PHOTOS WITHOUT DELETING IT ON MY DEVICE?
please help me

I'm done with Google Photos. I removed the app from my phone and I'm currently archiving my account and moving away from Google. This was the last straw. I've been trying to find a way to delete all my Google photos for several years and there is no way to do it. Possibly the dumbest thing I've ever seen in any software. After too many confusing issues with the sync from my phone to Google, and Photos deleting pictures from my phone AFTER I moved them to a non-synced folder and deleted the pictures on my desktop, in addition to many other issues, only to find out I can't even delete all my pictures at once without scrolling through tens of thousands of pictures manually. The BEST option is to select the first picture on desktop and scroll down and do a shift-select on another picture to select all pictures in between and delete. That doesn't work if you scroll too many times, it will deselect the first picture. So your only option is to use the shift-select routine hundreds of times. Absolutely ridiculous.

After following these steps the photos I supposedly "deleted" are still showing up in the assistant section of Google photos. Annoyingly recommended that I save the photos back to my library with the recommended modifications. Beyond making it extremely tedious to delete your photos, the evidence suggests that Google doesn't really erase your photos. This is unsettling.

OK, this is easy, but the tricky part, is how to delete some photos from Google Photos without deleting them from your iPhone (iOS)?

Thank you, I would have had to have a very awkward conversation with my teacher about some of the stuff on here

[tyguy]

The fact it's this difficult is scary.

Thanks for the video man. I had so much trouble getting my Google Photos library deleted because I had over 10, 000 photos and I had to scroll down holding shift all the way to the bottom. It took a while but finally managed to get it deleted. Thanks once again.
R.I.P Scroll Wheel.

The worst part is that you can't even receive any emails when your Google Drive storage is full.
I'm tired of their money making scheme.
I just switched from Google Drive 's 2TB @$99.99 plan to OneDrive 1TB x 5 accounts @$99.99.
Plus, OneDrive comes with Microsoft Office Suites (365).

I never knew google was copying my media in the first place, and now I've spent so much time trying to erase it all.

Say goodbye to high school pics from 2014 😭 but my Gmail storage is full even tho there is empty email then when I realise I wasn’t receiving any email I got so confused because it doesn’t show on mobile app but when I use my gmail on laptop it shows that my storage was taken fully by google photos and Google drive but I can’t find a way to delete anything on Google drive

this was 4 years ago now they have removed a lot of features that you have shown which could help in deleting the data and now its next to impossible to even know the size of the folder.
