Deleting a Google+ file
Discussion
Hi,
Can anyone help with deleting a Google+ file?
File is a video, it's a m4v file.
It's in the Auto backup google folder so possibly not on the phone itself.
I've deleted all the other files that were showing by deleting them from Google+ using my desktop computer
I've also now deleted/disabled my Google+ account.
This one video file still remains.
any suggestions?

Re-enable your G+ account.
Open the (Google) Photos app on any device linked to the account.
Make sure you're looking under the 'All' tab in this app (you should be, it defaults to this).
Press and hold the file/folder until it is selected.
Tap the trash can in the top right.
It'll ask you to confirm whether or not you want to permanently delete this file from all locations, just say yes if that's what you want.
Bingo, it's gone from the cloud, all your devices, and any local storage on an android device.
Simple as....
