Can't delete iPhone Picture folders!?

I went from a 3gs to a 4s. Well when I had my 3GS I would plug it into my computer and go to My Computer, I would then click on my Iphone under Portable Devices, and it brings me to the DCIM folder for my pictures. Well when It was on my 3GS it was just one folder, so when I went to that folder I knew the last picture I took would be the last picture in the folder.
Well now with my 4S, my images are saved in random folders, and when I go to get my new images off my phone I have to search through 6-8 different folders as they are all scattered about. I have called Apple Support and reached someone who is even more clueless then I am so I'm here now, hoping someone can help me. At this point I want to remove all images from my phone and start over basically. Someone please help.
Please help!
Here is what it looks like with all the folders:

I only want 1 folder. Please help me. Also, I am on a Windows PC so please do not suggest using iPhoto or Image Capture cause those options are not available to me.

Now that helps! But at this point I really am looking to loose all my photos. I want to start fresh as I have tooo many. It's filling up my phone. haha But I am def. going to check out that app! If you do have any other suggestions as how to wipe, only, all pictures from my phone, that would be awesome.
Thankyou for your help!
EDIT:
I'm actually reading this article again, and I can't get Auto Play to work, so I cannot choose Import. But I did go to Windows Live Photo Gallery. Select my iPhone, imported pictures, and from this import box I can choose to erase from device. So I am trying this method now, backing up my images and erasing them from Windows Photo Gallery. Hopefully this works.

    There are two ways to get rid of them on your iPhone:
    1.  Get rid of them on your computer, and then sync your iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    2.  Plug your iPhone into your computer, open iTunes, click on your iPhone's row on the left, go to the "Photos" tab on the top right, and uncheck "Sync Photos", then click "Apply" in the lower right.

  • Can I delete the files/folders in 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup'?

    Hi!
    I have just tried to backup and update my iphone to iOS 5.1. The backup seems to have worked but when it came to restoring the iphone, I think the hard disk ran out of space and so it failed. I saw this and so I freed up around 3Gb of disk space and I tried it again. It again failed. Again I noticed that there was no space left on the hard disk. I assumed that to continue the restore it probably won't need that much more space (as it had already done most of the work) so I freed up a few more Gb.
    Again it failed. When it fails, itunes leaves the partially restored elements on my hard disk meaning that my 'Apple Computer' folder is now 28Gb!! I cannot afford to delete anything else from the hard disk. I am using a PC by the way. I have noticed that in the folder 'Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup' has 5 folders in it which is the same amount that I tried to restore the iphone (before the last restore attempt there were 4 folders). These folders amount to 20Gb. From this I am assuming that the actual backup that I made is infact in 'Apple Computer\iTunes\Mobile Backups'.
    Can I delete the folders in 'MobileSync\Backup'? This would free up 20Gb of disk space giving me enough to properly restore (in theory!).
    Thanks for your time!!
    Nick

    your advice worked for me and saved me what ever evil lurked behind my thought to just delete the backup and get back my very lmited space on my 250GB Mackbook Pro using daisydisk pro https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/daisydisk/id411643860?mt=12
    Why DaisyDisk?
    DaisyDisk remains the tool of choice for film makers (including companies like Pixar), digital artists, IT professionals and hundreds of thousands of Mac users worldwide when it comes to disk space management. Constantly improving since its initial introduction, the app easily blows away competition in terms of speed, efficiency and user experience.

    Delete iOS backups this way: iTunes>Preferences>Devices...select the backup/backups...hit delete. Do not mess with your backup folder.

  • How can i delete a picture from camera roll without deleting everywhere

    how can i delete a picture in camera roll without deleting everywhere

    You can't, when you 'copy' a photo into an album that you've created directly on the iPad then you are effectively just creating a pointer to the photo and not creating a second copy of it - so if you then delete the original photo from your iPad you will also be deleting all pointers to it and therefore removing it from other albums.

  • Can't delete old pictures

    Is anyone have the same problem: I used iPhoto since a while.
    I upgrade to iPhoto 09 last month.
    Today, I am organizing my pics and I am unable to delete pictures !
    I can delete fresh pictures (I mean picture I just uploade from my camera)
    I can't delete old picture from 2-3 month...?
    I delete and the spinning icon (for waiting) kepps on turning and the iPhoto freeze...
    This problem occurs when I try to delete one our a group of picture.
    I changed nothing in the parameters.
    I haven't lock any file.

    I am having the same problem, having recently switched from 08 to 09. I can't delete photos as the machine hangs up and shows me the dreaded beach ball and (not responding) message - I have tried different ways to delete and different numbers of photos, hoping one my be the source of my problem. I have rebuilt my libraries - all things that I see being recommended on this site.
    It has hung up on me numerous times while trying to perform other tasks as well, such as batch changes or changes to dates and times, cut and pasting between events and related type tasks. Apple is getting a ton of messages from Force Quit. Any other suggestions? The only thing I haven't done is try to re-install. Getting pretty frustrating.

  • Can you delete a picture in your camera roll without deleting it in your albumn?

    No, it has to be in your Camera Roll to be in your album. Sorry.

    Hi I. Was take random picture in face time and I want to delete it how can I delete a picture from face time ?

    In addition to johngrussel's suggestion the delete key by itself will run the Remove from Album comand.
    Note that's the delete key with no modifier.Command-delete will delete the version from the project.

  • Can I delete the pictures from my camera and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

    Can I delete the pictures in my camera roll and still have them in my photos?!! Thank you !!

    No, you can't. If you have created albums on the iPad and think that there are copies of the photos in those albums, that is not how it works. The albums created on the iPad merely contain pointers to the photos in the camera roll or to any synced photos that you have. If you delete the photos from the camera roll, they will be deleted everywhere and will be gone.

  • What can I delete from what folders to A) get more space and B) speed up machine.  2009 Imac Intel based Leopard

    What can I delete from what folders to A) get more space and B) speed up machine.  2009 Imac Intel based Leopard

    If you start deleting things in hidden system folders, or in an /Library folder you may very well mess up something.
    That is why I say limit what you delete to your User folder only and only those files you've put or created there.  Start messing with anything system or application related without know exactly what you are doing and you risk fubar'ing something.
    There are in fact many places in the system areas that will appear to be redundant, but they are not so just because they have similar path or file names.
    Also, how much free space do you have with just a freshly rebooted system?  If your system does not have much RAM (given the apps your normally run on it), it may be creating quite a bit of swap space.  That will be flushed out with a reboot, but if your system is RAM limited, then it will just grow back.  In such a case, more RAM would help.
    Use Activity Monitor to look at your RAM and swap use over a few days of normal use - look particularly at the page outs, as that will tell you how much virtual memory is actually being used on the drive.  If page outs are high (thousands to 10's of thousands or more) your system is RAM limited, and your drive will be filling up with swap files.

  • ICloud storage full on iphone, but deleted almost everything and grows larger!  iPad is fine with same iCloud acct.  can I delete iPhone backup then turn it back on without loosing iCloud data?

    Icloud storage full.  Can I delete my iPhone icloud backup with keeping my iCloud data unharmed (since my iPad has iCloud storage turned on, and I wouldn't be turning iCloud off on my iPad). BTW, I use iTunes for music and photo albums; iCloud for contacts, notes, etc. Then turn iCloud back up back on on iphone to see if I had a problem file and the storage changes?
    ICloud storage full.  I deleted messages, moved the camera roll to my PC, deleted Safari bookmarks, turned off almost every app in Managing  iCloud storage.  I turned off the backup, restarted iCloud backup and did a manual backup yet my storage gets larger yet. 
    Makes no sense.  I have a iPhone and iPad. It's the iPhone showing this large iCloud storage  3.6 GB (when the iPad has more apps and only 716MB).

    ANSWER to my Question above:  YES.
    I took a chance, as I could find NO information regarding my question, and DELETED MY ICLOUD BACKUP (not my ICLOUD account).  I then turned ON my ICLOUD BACKUP and whew!  It plummeted from 4.8 GB full out of 5 GB TO: 1.2 GB full out of 5 GB. 
    I even turned on more settings to back up and it still shows 1.2 GB full in ICLOUD, 3.8 available.  No more emails to say I am running out of ICLOUD space. 
    [For what its worth if others are getting messages their ICLOUD is almost full, and you don't have all that much on ICLOUD.  Then when you even delete apps, messages, camera roll, turn off almost ALL icloud back ups and features the ICLOUD backup grows even larger.  My ICLOUD kept increasing in size while I was decreasing my ICLOUD storage in Managing storage.] 
    (All my ICLOUD contacts, notes, Safari bookmarks, were returned in place.)

  • How can I delete damaged picture files without opening iPhoto?

    I was downloading a few pics from my roommates professional-quality camera (I'm assume the file sizes are huge) and, of course, I had to download all 150 or so, instead just the few I needed. Anyway, I got a message that some of the files were "damaged" and couldn't be downloaded. Now, when I open iPhoto it either just locks up or shows some of the files downloaded, doesn't show others, and then locks up. So, what I need to do is just delete all pictures from that date without opening iPhoto .... any ideas how to do this?

    1 - In the future if you want only certain photos use image capture (in your applications folder) - with it you can selective load photos
    2 - try rebuilding your library - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) and command (apple) keys and use the first three rebuild options
    Do not use the finder to modify the contents of the iPhoto library
