Can't delete "Photo Library" from iPhone.  Please help

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to delete the "photo library" off my iPhone (as well as all the sub folders it has created). I do not want to have all the images from iPhoto to be on my iPhone as well. When I plug-in my phone, I go to the photo tab in iTunes...un-click the "sync from iPhoto" option at the top...it then asks me if I'd like to remove all the images added via iPhoto to which I answer "remove" but then nothing happens. I've tried re-syncing it, re-starting it (phone, computer and itunes) but nothing happens. The phone is a 3G.
Thank you very much for your help.

OK I was able to figure it out. First, I had to check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" box in the photos tab. Second; I had to check, "Selected albums, events and faces and automatically included" Third; I to select "NO EVENTS" from the drop down menu. By selecting *no events* I was able to remove all the photos I did not take with my iPhone.
Hope this helps someone else too.

  • Deleting Photo Library from iPhone 4 - Help!

    Help!  I can't figure out how to delete the Photo Library from my iPhone 4.  Here is what I did:
    I was using my sister's Mac and downloaded some photos she took from her iPhoto onto my iPhone 4.  Now I can see the photos on my phone in a new folder called "Photo Library."  But there isn't an option to delete the photos like there is with the Camera Roll folder.
    When I hook the phone up to my own Mac, the photos don't appear in iPhoto so I can't delete them there.
    When I hook the phone up to my PC, the PC doesn't seem to think the photos are there either.
    When I open the phone with iTunes, the Photo Library folder doesn't appear in the folder options so I can't "unsync" the folder.
    Yet they sure are taking up a lot of space on my phone!!!  I feel like they are permanently stuck on my phone now. My sister lives far away so I can't just plug my phone into her computer again. 
    Will restoring the phone finally get rid of the Photo Library?  I can do this as a last resort but only if I know it will fix the problem.  Thank you!

    Use iTunes.
    Under the Photos tab, choose Sync Photos from and then from the dropdown select choose folder...
    Create a new empty folder by selecting New folder and click Open
    Then Apply and Sync.
    That should do it. At least it did for me

  • Can't delete photo's from iPhone without deleting them from iCloud...

    I own a 16GB iPhone 5, every time I try to erase a photo from my iPhone it prompts me with a warning telling me that "this photo will be deleted from iCloud Photo Library on all your devices" this warning pops up in all sections of the photo app. Please help! I am currently running iOS 8.1.3.

    From the FAQ: "Deleting a photo or video from your Photos app will also remove the item from iCloud Photo Library and from your iCloud storage allocation. Photos and videos you remove can be recovered from the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. After 30 days, your content will be removed from the Recently Deleted album. Photos are backed up on our servers for up to 30 days after they're deleted from the Photos app." This is by design.

  • Can not delete photo's from photo library ?

    Can not delete photo's from photo library ?

    Those are photos that were synced to your phone from your computer using iTunes, and they can only be removed by syncing them off.  Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and uncheck the photos you want to remove, then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  If you want to remove them all, uncheck Sync Photos.  If you only want to remove some of them, remove them from the folder that you are syncing your photos from.

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

  • If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    If I set up the ICloud, does that mean that all of my songs will be stored in Icloud? can I delete the library from my PC and only choose what playlists I want on PC?

    Thank you
    I realize they are separate
    I will do music match so that all of my songs are in ICloud
    Do I need to keep the library on my PC or can I download whatever playlists I want stored on the device at that time.
    Example: I have almost 1G of Christmas Music - because it is on my PC in my llibrary they sync to my ipod touch every time - i really want those stored somewhere else so they do not sync [or take space on my pc] with exception to one month per year.
    I am thinking I can create space on my PC and Touch by storing songs on icloud that i do not listen to regularly; I am also thinking I can request songs by playlist to download to my touch or PC
    Is that a clearer question or am I just confusing myself??

  • How to delete photos/pics from iPhone 3G???

    Please help. I am at a loss. How do you delete photos/pics (that you uploaded) from iPhone 3G??? I see no delete button, no trash button or anything that would instruct me to remove the photo?
    Thanks.

    You can delete photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll only and only one at a time.
    Photos available in your iPhone's Camera Roll can be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Since you have a Mac, you can use iPhoto for this or the Image Capture application. After the import is complete, both applications include an option to erase all photos from your iPhone's Camera Roll, or you can delete select photos.
    Photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted on or from your iPhone. You can remove any or all photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone in the same way they were transferred to your iPhone - via the iTunes sync process.

  • How to delete photo library off iphone 5s

    I only have 221 photos saved on my 32 GB iPhone 5s, but in Settings>General>Usage>Manage Storage it shows that 8.9 GB are being used by 'Photos & Camera'!
    Of that, 'Photo Library' is taking up 8.8 GB of space and I can't figure out how to get rid of it.  I went into iTunes and removed the check mark on 'Sync photos',, then re-synced my phone, but that didn't do it.  How do I remove the 'Photo Library' from my phone?  That's an awful lot of memory usage for what appears to be nothing.
    Thanks for any advice you can provide!

    Hello moskigirl,
    It may help to force close all open apps and restart your iPhone.

    If the space used by Photos & Camera hasn't decreased, the next step would be to restore the device.

  • How do I delete photo library from my iPad?

    how do i delete the photo library from my ipad?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen or via the Edit button in thumbnail view. If you want to select and delete a lot of photos then in thumbnail view tap the Edit button and then try touching the first photo with two fingers and then slide the two fingers (not too quickly) across the photos that you want to remove and they should get ticked (it might take a few attempts)
    Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing - if you want to delete all synced photos then try selecting and syncing an empty folder.
