I frequently take redundant photos without deleting them. Yesterday, I was on Apple Photos deleting all the redundant ones on my phone. I did this all the way to February, deleting about half the pictures. Is there a way to quickly also delete these from Google Photos?
In more detail:
- On my iPhone, I deleted about half of photos taken between Dec 2019 – Feb 2019.
- During this time period, I did not upload photos to Google Photos from any other device.
- I want my Google Photos library to look identical to my iPhone library from Dec 2019 – Feb 2019 (leave only a strict subset of my photos), but leave all my Google Photos intact from before Feb 2019.
Best Answer
I did it the dumb way, a complete flush of my Google Photos library. But I want to share my notes of some annoying details in the Google Photos app.
Of course, the drawback to this method is that the re-upload takes a long time. This is why I have the time to type out this question and answer.
