    Can anyone help me?

    I want to delete photos from my photostream but am struggling to find out how to do this, I have no photos in my camera roll as I have done a fresh restore with beta 3, but still loads of photos in the photostream that I do not want, I want to keep some of them but delete a select few.

    Anyone...?

    Nope, they still come up on my photostream, it is obviously saved onto the photostream on the icloud so need to delete them from there somehow.

    You can't. Only way is to turn off photo stream. And even by doing that they'll still be in the "cloud"
    I turned it off cuz I downloaded the red pancake and blue waffle pics to show my cousin and they got saved to the photo stream...

    Ha, that's the same reason as me, I took a few ";)Pictures;)" of the missus, now there saved on the cloud, hopefully in either the later beta versions on ios5 or the final version this will be fixed.

    They'll be gone 30 days after the picture is add to Photostream. And that's what you get for taking "pictures" ;)

    Work Around

    Log into iCloud.com, click your name in the top corner right corner, click advanced, the reset photo stream.

    Make sure your turn it off on the iPhone and iPad first. Also turn it off in iPhoto.
    It will give your the option to import the photos from photo stream to library before deactivating.

    When you reactivate all photos will be gone.

    Hope this helps....

    Using your i phone or ipad, go into setting and turn off photo stream. It will give you a warning that all photos on photo stream will be deleted.

    Good luck!:)
