Trying to permanently delete photos

[ZaNiaC]

I have my S5 set to back up photos I shoot to the cloud automatically, which I'm okay with. But I have tried to delete some of them and even have chosen the "Delete from everywhere" option. However, every few days/weeks, they re-appear on my phone all over again. How can I permanently delete these pics once and for all? Thanks!

Hi Zaniac,
the name of the could services/app would very helpful.

Try to check if you can only enable the uploading piece of the synchronization.

After searching for answers and trying many things over the past month, I think I figured it out and had a "D"Oh!" moment. Along the top of the photos page in Google+ on my desktop computer, there is a list of tabs: Highlights, All Photos and More. I never looked under the More tab until today. Turns out there is a Trash folder under there where all my deleted photos go. Clicked "Empty Trash" and they all disappeared! Why did I not see that before!

Hopefully, this will help somebody else in the same boat.
