Face pics

Hey everyone I hope someone can help me with this issue. I had recently bought a my cloud with 3tb of space. My wife backed up all of her pics from iphoto and for some reason the cloud added files witch are just pics of faces the software can see. So now we have our original 12000 pics plus a ton more that are just zoomed in on our heads. Obviously these are not useful to us at all and they are taking up space. Anyway to get rid of them without having to go thru and delete each pic one by one? Is there a way to turn it off so that when we upload more it doesnt do it again? Thanks for the help, it is appreciated!

Hi Rizz1, the My My Cloud will scan all of the pictures that were transferred and make them available. Verify if the additional picture were part of the iPhoto library.

be very careful as these may not be extra pictures but rather zoomed in thumbnails of the same photos; thus if you delete one, they may be deleting the original photo.

They’re actually part of your iPhoto database.  ;)
