How to Remove Videos from iCloud
In today’s digital age, cloud storage has become an integral part of our lives, allowing us to store and access our files from anywhere. One of the most popular cloud storage services is iCloud, offered by Apple. While iCloud provides a convenient way to backup and sync your photos, videos, and documents across your devices, it can sometimes lead to unnecessary clutter. If you’re looking to declutter your iCloud storage by removing videos, here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do it.
Step 1: Open the iCloud Website
The first step to remove videos from iCloud is to access the iCloud website on your computer. Go to www.icloud.com and log in with your Apple ID and password.
Step 2: Navigate to the Photos Section
Once you’re logged in, click on the “Photos” icon on the left-hand side of the screen. This will take you to your iCloud photo library, where all your photos and videos are stored.
Step 3: Select the Videos You Want to Remove
Scroll through your photo library and select the videos you want to remove from iCloud. You can select multiple videos by holding down the “Shift” key on your keyboard and clicking on the desired videos.
Step 4: Delete the Selected Videos
With the videos selected, click on the “Delete” button at the top of the screen. A confirmation dialog box will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to delete the selected videos. Click “Delete” again to confirm.
Step 5: Empty the Trash
After deleting the videos, they will be moved to the “Deleted” album in your iCloud photo library. To permanently remove the videos from your iCloud storage, go to the “Deleted” album and click on the “Empty Deleted Album” button at the top of the screen. This will delete the videos from your iCloud account.
Step 6: Confirm the Deletion
A confirmation dialog box will appear, asking if you’re sure you want to permanently delete the videos. Click “Delete” again to confirm.
Step 7: Check Your Storage
Once the videos have been deleted, go back to the iCloud website and click on the “Manage” button next to your storage plan. This will show you how much storage space you have left. If you need more space, you can upgrade your storage plan or delete more files from your iCloud account.
By following these steps, you can easily remove videos from your iCloud storage. Remember that once the videos are deleted, they cannot be recovered, so make sure you have a backup of any important files before proceeding.
