Google Photos Has Finally Changed This Space Saving Photo Deletion Option
1 min read
Summary
A new update to Google Photos for Android has introduced the Undo Backup feature, allowing users to delete photos and videos from their Google Drive storage while still keeping them on their device.
This can be done by going to Photos settings, then Backup, swiping up to get to Undo Backup for this device, agreeing to the warning, and then tapping Delete Google Photos backup.
This action will free up space in cloud storage, but note that it also deletes the files in the Google Photos app.
Therefore, if the user loses their device, they will no longer have access to these images and videos.
There are other ways to free up storage space on Google Photos, such as converting images to a lower quality and deleting unsupported video files.
