Google Photos is an amazing free app to store your photos and videos in the cloud space. You can access them from anywhere and anytime using any device. People use it very often to backup photos and videos, and they get organised and labelled automatically so that searching them becomes easy in future. Some people also prefer to keep photos and videos in Google Photos to clear up space in your smartphone.

But deleting photos from Google Photos has a catch that many people may not know about. Even though Google says that the app is perfectly safe and secure, it would be foolish to keep private photos especially if your email address credentials get hacked. But when you delete photos and videos from Google Photos, they say in the trash for 60 days just in case you may restore them. This could be dangerous as well in case of hacking. The following article is dedicated to providing a complete guide on how to permanently delete pictures and videos from Google Photo.
