I have an old iPad that had so many photos saved that I'm out of storage space. I have transferred all the pics to iCloud.

We have an old iPad (veresion 9.3.5) that has a huge bunch of pics stored. I have copied all of them to iCloud. I read on-line that I should now turn off iCloud on the iPad so that deleting pics on the iPad won't also delete what is stored on iCloud.

On-line the instructions told me to click on the album icon, then choose the library option, etc. No library options show up on the screen. I want to delete all pics and videos stored on the laptop.

iPad, iOS 9

On the iPad go to settings - photos to turn off iCloud. You can then safely delete photos off of the iPad.
