If you're looking to free up some space on Google Drive or simply want to remove unwanted photos, you can delete them permanently from your account.
To do so, you'll first need to navigate to the Google Drive website and sign in to your account. From there, select the photos you want to delete by checking the box next to each one.
Once you've selected the photos, click on the "Trash" button located at the top right corner of the screen. This will move the selected photos to the trash folder.
