deleting auto-backed up photos

[peterrigg]

How do I delete photos already backed up (and/or prevent them appearing on the screen under "auto backup"?

Thanks for any help!

If they were auto backed up and appear on the screen anyway you can delete the originals and reclaim the storage space for new photos.

I can certainly delete the original, but the baked up version stays on the screen, without a delete option...

That's the problem!

TBH I don't know because I don't use Google+(' photo backup feature).
I use Dropbox for auto backup of photos (and then delete the originals to reclaim the storage space*). I can delete any photo I want from Dropbox.

*That way I have virtually limitless storage space for photos on my phone.

So it's Google+ that's causing the problem? Anyone know how how to delete photos already backed up, to prevent them appearing on the screen?
