The only way I have found to have MY pictures/videos on my pc is to download from the cloud using.
seems Apple don't want people to have the flexibility they require when dealing with ones media!! Apples media organisation system is horrendous, I'm sick and tired of having multiple images/videos all over the place, in the cloud, on my phone and on my pc!!
#Q DIR 6.57 WINDOWS 10#
I've also tried your above approach and this dose not work, windows 10 still throws the same 0x8007017B error code. Do a move to the Recycle Bin while holding the "Shift" key which will show DELETE rather than move when the location is the recycle bin.Do a Shift-Delete on the selected files.Do a move with ctrl+x > cttrl+v to a new location.Do a move using the drag and drop the files to a new location with the shift key.So if you want to Delete your files from your "iCloud Photos" folder you have to do one of the following: So you get an error when following Apple's own directions on their page here: It prompts you that the file will be permanently deleted because Window's knows it's a network drive.Īpple's engineers didn't implement the standard coding to tell Windows that the folder is a Network style folder and to prompt when deleting. It's a Virtual network drive and because an iCloud engineer didn't follow proper Microsoft protocol for programming a network-style mount.įor example: When you delete a file on a network drive it does not get moved to the "Recycle Bin". Well, Because of the way the new iCloud app (V.11+) downloaded through the Windows store works, a standard delete doesn't work.
