Title: I-pad irritation.
Post by: Michael Rolls on September 15, 2023, 06:01:34 AM
Using it in camera mode, I will often take more than one shot of something, then decide to keep one and delete the others. But then, it take 29 days for them to be deleted - why on earth? Is there a way round it? It's not a problem just an annoyance

Are you deleting them from the iPad or are you deleting them from Apple's cloud storage?

When you delete a photo from your iPad it sends it to your Recently Deleted folder where it stores them for 30 days in case you change your mind & want to recover them.

You may be able to delete them permanently & immediately by going into the folder & manually deleting them.
