How to delete photos in auto backup

Before update I could delete photos in backup under Gallery app now all you can do is share please help this update is killing me. It's when i hit gallery and it says auto backup and has a little circle with green purple and pink in it, you can select pics but only thing I see you can do is share or download! I want to delete! So any help would be great Verizon? So it's under gallery not under google plus.

That's actually a great question, Budwen. Tidbits had some great advice but not everyone knows where to clear the application cache on the phone. Here's the steps: http://vz.to/1fwmAGN. It's also a great maintenance tip to clear the cache on your most used applications once in a while to keep your phone running smoothly.

Thank you

Clear your gallery cache. It doesn't auto delete the cache.

found it with what you sent me but had to delete data in gallery to get rid of them. Cache didnt do it can someone look into this before update you could tap and delete right in the gallery app. I thought an update should help not make more problems this is the third thing I have wasted time on to fix that before update was very easy to do. Not happy with this

Glad to hear you were able to figure it out Budwen. I'm sorry of you are displeased with the update. Our control is limited with minor functionality changes with new updates. We don't have a way to change those, as updates are designed and implemented by the equipment manufacturers and OS developers. We appreciate your feedback.
