  1. Unable to delete photos from iCloud Photos folder


    On iCloud.com I deleted several hundred photos. As I watched the folder on my Windows PC many of the icons and files disappeared from my Windows PC. This is what I was expecting.But there were a few of the deleted photos that remained on the PC. This is the first indication something was wrong. So I deselected the checkbox for Photos in iCloud for Windows settings, then hit Apply. At the Turn off iCloud Photos pop-up I selected Delete from PC. Of course, any remaining photos in iCloud.com would still be there.Then I rebooted the PC. When it rebooted, I then opened iCloud Settings and re-enable

    How to Upload Folders of Photos to Albums on iCloud?

    I'm trying to determine the best way to migrate multiple folders of photos on Windows 10 to iCloud.

    Currently, I'm copying each folder of photos to the iCloud Photos\Uploads folder, which successfully uploads the photos to iCloud, however, the photos do not appear in albums and are therefore no longer grouped.

    Is there a way to upload a folder of photos so that it appears in an album on iCloud, or do I have to manually create the album and move the photos into it after uploading?

    Also, after uploading the folder of photos, should I delete the folder from the Uploads folder?

    Prevent iCloud Photos Folder Being Auto-Created?

    I have iCloud for Windows v7.0.1.210 on Windows 10 version 1703. I only enabled iCloud Drive and web bookmark sync features. But somehow the iCloud Photos folder is created automatically every time I open the iCloud setting after I deleted it manually, especially annoyingly it got added to my Quick access list inside File Explorer.

    BTW, anyway to remove the iCloud icon from system tray on windows 10?
