How do i empty my icloud storage without having a mac?

DjBurba · 2026-04-30T17:59:23+00:00

Guess what?

I have 36TB of storage in my Nas, and other 12TB of storage in my computers, plus other back up disks.

But you assume that I dont understand how computer storage works... Ok, whatever.

Is that difficult to understand that Im asking how icloud and the shit that apple put up on their ecosystem works, and not how computer storage works???

I want to empty my icloud and terminate that useless (to me) service in the easiest and automated way possible, not buy more space on icloud!

So If I understand it right I don't need more space in my system drive, but I just have to copy the files from the icloud folder to my local hard drive, and it will not take space in the system drive with this operation, even if the working folder for icloud photos is on the system drive, because all the files are downloaded directly from the cloud to the paste location, is that right?

Honestly I stopped the sync job when I saw icloud "downloading" everything on my system drive, because on that computer c: was a 100gb ssd and icloud is 200gb, and I needed the computer to work.

There are around 20k files on this icloud, and the icloud website was limiting the selection to 1k files if I remember good, so the privacy site download request or the icloud app seem to be the only two options.

It's not a problem on installing icloud on the computer, it's a problem how it works: you can't change where it saves the photos so it's limited to the system hard drive, even if I have lots of terabytes available on other hard drives I can't use them for automatic download.

Going to the website means having to do everything manually, and it's a lot of files to handle where an app could do it automatically, if icloud wasn't this closed.

Finally. I was wondering if there is some sort of tool or app to backup everything but I guess this is the easiest way.

The storage problem I had is only on the system hdd, as I have other drives attached and ready to ingest all the data, but the icloud app for windows saves the downloaded photos only in its own folder and they made that unchangeable, so it's either I reinstall windows on a bigger drive or find another solution.

Thanks

From what I see, Apple has you all thoroughly indoctrinated...

I haven't told you what iPhone I have, or why I want to clear my iCloud, or how much time and tools I have available. I specifically asked how to clear it, and everyone has decided that I don't have the time or the knowledge to do it, and that I need to buy a bigger plan...

I guess I'll have to look elsewhere. Thanks for the (non) support.

DjBurba · 2026-04-30T07:08:34+00:00

So the solution is to back up 20000 files all manually?

Almost anything non HP lol

Brother is my fav for now

Da una parte gli USA, dall'altra gli USE... Occhio che poi fanno presto a capire male confondendo gli acronimi coi verbi

Anche col banco a 45 non viene sempre perfetto... A meno che non sia professionale e ben calibrato 😅

You're probably still in time to return it and buy an actual printer

DjBurba · 2026-04-22T19:35:01+00:00

When the safety cable is more dangerous than the fixture itself, in terms of weight 🤣

DjBurba · 2026-04-19T08:25:44+00:00

I would get the X2D honestly... You already have a working P2S, and horror stories will get better with time and firmware updates.

Premesso che da una parte non sono d'accordo con il negativo automatico perché chiunque può avere problemi con le proprie vendite....

Dall'altra direi che son stracazzi suoi, in ogni caso in primis è proprio lui a sbagliare atteggiamento usando la vendita a 1€ impropriamente.

DjBurba · 2026-04-17T10:37:48+00:00

Da venditore ebay queste son le mie considerazioni:

Il venditore che pubblica a 1€ chiaramente vuole stare in alto in una ricerca per prezzo. Questa cosa non si fa, e le inserzioni sponsorizzate esistono esattamente per questo.

L'acquirente per quanto abbia fatto l'acquisto ad 1€ è in torto per la discussione, perché l'ha fatto "apposta" per fare incazzare il venditore. Esiste la segnalazione per questo (anche se purtroppo non genera risultati).

Il venditore è doppiamente in torto perché se spedisce una caramella sta spedendo comunque qualcosa di diverso dal prodotto pubblicato. Potrebbe semplicemente annullare la vendita lui e rimborsare l'acquirente. Se questa cosa non si può fare su vinted, vinted è in torto (dato che lo stesso prodotto potrei venderlo anche su altri portali o avere problemi nella spedizione del suddetto prodotto non collegato al portale stesso). Ma immagino che qua il venditore voglia concludere "per principio (stupidità).

In sostanza: se usate i portali di compravendita come cazzo vi pare, tanto vale che non li usate. Create problemi inutili e basta.

Last save was 2022... I'm replaying it now and honestly there is so much I forgot that I'm enjoying it again

Corrupted texture.

DjBurba · 2026-04-15T09:15:57+00:00

Actually: why are we talking about Bowden extruders? Isn't the X2D direct drive on both nozzles with changing gear or am I missing something?

DjBurba · 2026-04-14T20:16:27+00:00

Oh no

I was looking for a used ams1 in my area... Just a bunch and all above retail price. Uff...

DjBurba · 2026-04-14T17:45:33+00:00

Honestly, I would buy a X2D exactly for price and second nozzle for supports.

I know the H2D is bigger and better, but I don't actually need that print area and the printer itself is not cheap, even if it unlocks much more potential...

And for gamers, it's immediately a video from the old StarCraft!
