How To Delete iCloud Backup Photos?

So my iPhone 5s (iOS 7) storage is almost full. It has only 13mb left. On my device I only have about 300 photos, but I used to have over a thousand. I just transfer them onto my laptop, then delete them off of my phone.

Whenever I connect my phone to my laptop, it tell me I have 4000 photos.

How can I get rid of all those extra deleted photos?

I have about 4.8GB left of storage in my iPhone 5 left but iCloud is acting up and it's saying there's no space to back everything up. What should I do? Should I still update to iOS7? It's stressing me out and I don't wanna risk anything being deleted.

  • What happens if I delete my iCloud backup? I need to replace my iPad because the screen is cracked, but I don't want to loose the data on some of my games.

What all will this do the data on my iPad, like specifically my camera roll and photostream?
  • Viewing photos on iPhone after iCloud backup? I have an iPhone 6 plus with the latest iOS, my problem is with my photos and videos, once they are backedup on iCloud, I can't view them normally from my iPhone, they have to be redownloaded so everytime I want to see a photo or video I will have to wait for it to downlod over Wi-Fi connection, and sometimes it takes too long and sometimes an error message appears saying photo can't be downloaded. Is there any solution to that?
