I had my first request to take down a photo tonight. It was from a photographer who asked me to take down the image, or pay for a license. Interesting point of view. I will comply to any requests to take down original material. I do not own it, and I respect their point of view.
Thanks fredmacusa!
I don’t think we have the option of chosing what photos we will keep in the Photostream folder. Deleting them with iExplorer (a program that you install in your Mac) doesn’t work because the photos are stored in iCloud.com. So to delete “all” photos you have to do the following:
1) on your iPhone go to Settings >> Photos and turn “off” Photo Stream. It will tell you that all photos will be deleted from you iPhone device. Don’t turn it back on again.
2) Acces your account at iCloud.com
3) When logged in you will see your name at the top of the page on the right, click on your name. Click on the Advanced option and then click on the Reset Photo Stream button. That’s it.
4) Now you can go back on you iPhone Settings >> Photos and turn “on” Photo Stream.
Now all your unwanted and wanted photos are gone.
Sorry there is no option to delete only the unwanted photos at least for now.
Hope this helps! It did for me.
This post at the Apple Discussion forums explains how to restore your iPhoto photos. Thanks laverne’s mom.
Your question had me wondering too and so I checked my Time Machine and couldn’t see where any photos were. I then pulled out a book I got when I first got my mac ( Its called The Missing Manual. I got it used from Amazon) anyway, if you open iPhoto, go to File then Browse Backups. It will show you the photos that have been backed up and are available for recovery. I hadn’t paid much attention to that before and am glad I discovered it now, rather than when I am in a panic over a lost or misplaced photo. Hope this helps you find what you are looking for.

Cul Beag reflected in Loch Lurgainn | Flickr – Photo Sharing!. Wow. Wouldn’t it be fun to travel to all of these places? Makes you wish you had your own jet airplane doesn’t it?
