How to get deleted pics off iphone to delete on icloud as well

Does anyone know how I can get icloud to delete pictures that I have also deleted on my iphone? I thought that once you delete pics off the iphone it automatically deletes them on icloud, but i was wrong. Thank you!

If you are syncing photos with iCloud, they should automatically delete, although it may take a while.


Try Settings/Your Name/iCloud and slide off Photos syncing. Wait a few minutes and then slide syncing on. Allow time for syncing to occur.


Last resort - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
