Is it safe to upload my kids photographs to Yahoo Photos, I want to know when I delete them are they permanently deleted from everywhere in the yahoo system or are they electronically backedup and archived even after I have deleted them. I just want to ensure that I have complete control over my kids pictures and that when I have deleted them they are definitely and truly deleted and not left stored on the yahoo server network after I think they are having been safely and securely deleted. I just want to share private family photos with other family members overseas but want a clear answer but nobody has been able to give me a definitive reply from yahoo customer service. "To say your picture is deleted and not possible to restore" from your Yahoo Photos is not the same as confirming that "No backups are taken and archived once your image is having been deleted

You should assume that there IS a copy somewhere. Post nothing that you would not post on a highway billboard with your home address on it as well.

Once you post something to the Internet, there is no such thing as secure deletion. You could Yahoo Briefcase and place the files in an area which is password protected (e.g. your family can access the files but no one else). Briefcase has a better concept of secure deletion - but the files still exist on Yahoo's servers and Yahoo probably backs up their servers online.

i've got tried each and every little thing to delete pictures in " My pictures "and it appears that evidently yahoo isn't set as much as permit this basic function. i'm able to't hit upon a thank you to ask yahoo a thank you to do it the two. think of the band width they are eating up for no reason!
