My cloud storage is almost full. How do I delete images?

I'm using lightroom mobile and it's just told me that my cloud storage is almost full.

 

Apart from individually selecting images one by one in the app (there are 4000 of them and it would probably take me all week) is there a way to easily manage and delete images I don't need?

 

For the first year of using this service I didn't realise it was syncing every single image I ever took on my phone so half of my entire storage is now filled up with useless garbage.

    If you hold your finger on a thumbnail in Grid view, you'll enter selection mode, where you can much more quickly select all of the photos you don't want to keep, then delete them in one go. Personally I'd work in chunks. Bear in mind that anything you delete from the Lightroom app also gets deleted from the Lightroom cloud, so be careful about what you delete.
