Deleting Everything From a Mac Without Deleting From iCloud

To delete everything from your Mac without deleting it from iCloud, you’ll need to first disable iCloud Drive. To do this, open System Preferences and select the iCloud pane. Uncheck the box next to iCloud Drive, then click “Turn Off” when prompted. This will remove all files stored on your Mac while leaving them intact in iCloud. You can also drag files from the Finder window into the Trash, but remember that they will still be stored in iCloud. Once you’ve disabled iCloud Drive and deleted any desired files, you can empty the Trash to permanently delete them from your Mac.

Does Deleting a File From a Mac Also Delete It From iCloud?

When you delete a file from your Mac computer, it will also be deleted from iCloud the next time your system syncs. This is a normal part of the synchronization process and is designed to ensure that both devices have the same files stored. However, this deletion is not permanent and most cloud storage systems provide an option to restore a deleted file within 30 days. To do this, you would need to access your cloud storage account, navigate to the ‘Deleted Files’ section and select the file that you would like to restore. Once selected, you will be able to restore the file back to its original folder or create a new folder for it. It’s important to note that if the deleted file was stored in an iCloud-specific folder, such as ‘iCloud Drive’ or ‘iCloud Photos’, then restoring it may require special steps.

Moving Photos from Mac to iCloud to Free Up Space

Where Are Photos Stored on a Mac?

Photos on Mac are stored in the Photos app (formerly known as iPhoto). By default, your photos will be stored in the System Photo Library within the Pictures folder on your Mac. You can also create additional photo libraries on other storage devices, such as external hard drives or USB flash drives. To access photos in a Photos library, you should always use the Photos app. You can also store photos outside of the Photos app by saving them to any other folder on your Mac.

Consequences of Deleting Photo Library From Mac

Deleting the photo library from your Mac will completely remove the library from your computer and will free up drive space. All photos in that library will be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered. Additionally, any photos stored in iCloud from that library will also be removed and cannot be restored. It is important to ensure that any photos you wish to keep are backed up everywhere before deleting the photo library.

Does Deleting Photos From Mac Affect Photos on iPhone?

Yes, deleting photos from your Mac will delete them from your iPhone.

You can easily delete photos and videos in iCloud Photos: on your Mac, open the Photos app and select the photos or videos you want to delete. Then click the Delete button in the top-right corner of the window. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Photos app and tap Select at the top-right corner of the screen. Select all of the photos that you want to delete and then tap Delete in the bottom-right corner of the screen to confirm. Once deleted, these photos will no longer be available on any device connected to your Apple ID.
