How can I delete Auto backup photos in Google+

Question

I couldn't delete them. What can I do? I know that it's private, but I have a little worry.

See also http://android.stackexchange.com/q/64440/12442 . It relates to Hangouts photos, but the process is the same. — Dan Hulme, Jul 07 '14 at 16:16

To delete one photo at a time, open the Photos app > touch the thumbnail of the photo you wish to delete to open it > trash icon.

To delete multiple photos at once, open the Photos app > touch the
menu icon/button > Select... > the thumbnails of the photos you wish to delete to select them > trash icon.

Delete the photos in your Google+ account from your computer, then empty the trash. Then go into your phone's Settings, navigate to Apps -> Gallery, and select Clear Cache.

Look up Google Album Archive to see every image you've ever uploaded to any Google platform, be it Hangouts or Google+.

Drag the gallery icon up to the info icon at the top of the screen. It will show clear cache button when you scroll down.

This will only delete any thumbnails and other cache information that the gallery stores. This will not delete the photos that are backed up by Google+. – Ryan Conrad Dec 28 '14 at 23:24
