Problems deleting photos from Google Cloud ONLY
Hi all. I have a HTC Desire EYE (UK based) and use the automated Google upload service. The problem I have is that I want to delete certain pics from the Cloud without removing them from my device itself. I have a huge amount of memes and pics that I occasionally like to use when posting but I don't want them ALL to be kept on my cloud storage which I want for family pictures and a few select items only.
As far as I can see from reading about a zillion posts on many forums if you delete a photo or picture from the Cloud area (G+ style) it will also be removed from your phone (along with any other synced device) regardless. This is not what I want! Is there not any way to manually delete photo's from my Google account and leave them on my phone?
To clarify I also have a huge collection of memes that I really don't want clogging up my Google drive (and a few tasteless memes that I might post on certain pages but don't want kept on my Cloud storage or other places).
In an idea situation Google would upload all I have on my phone then I could manually go to my G+ account and remove certain pics I don't want there but they are NOT removed from my HTC phone. This was always the case in the past and seems a reasonable thing to do to my mind. Why is this not possible?
Thanks in advance
