– If you change your mind after deleting the photos, you can restore them within 60 days. After that period, the photos will be permanently deleted.
By following these simple steps, you can easily delete all pictures in your Google Photos library. Remember to double-check your selection and proceed with caution, as this action cannot be undone. Happy cleaning!
