How to Delete and Recover Photos and Videos from iCloud.com

La iCloud Photo Library, currently in beta phase, assures us that all our favorite photos stay safe And backup always available on all our Apple devices (coming soon on OS X). But sometimes we save photos that we do not really want to keep for longer or there is sensitive material that we would not like to be saved in the cloud. Of course, the scandal known as #CelebGate in which thousands of photos of celebrities in intimate moments were filtered.

The iCloud Photo Library, as the name suggests, exists as part of the iCloud services, which means that it can be managed and stored in the Apple cloud. If, for whatever reason, we want to delete photos or videos from the iCloud library, we can delete them with any web browser from iCloud.com.
