On the phone, you can delete from your camera roll.
Tap Photos
Tap Camera Roll
Tap a picture you don't want
Tap trash can icon
To delete more than one:
Tap Photos
Tap Camera Roll
Tap on the share icon (arrow coming out of a box)
Tap on all pics you want to delete
Tap Delete

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried all solutions using Itunes and it doesn't delete them from iphone

Cannot delete photos from iphone 5 downloaded from pc. Tried the ITunes solution and it does not delete the photos. Try a second time and Sync doesn't even start

I see the photos tab and "My Pictures" folder shows. Sync is unselected. It asks if I want to delete the photos when I click on sync and I said yes but it didn't work. It does seem that some photos are removed based on available storage left (decreases). If I select individual folders, subfolders of "My Pictures" then hit Sync deselected Sync doesn't even start.

IPhoto can't delete photos from iPhone 6

When i have imported the photos from the iPhone, i get the opportunity to delete photos from iPhone device, but when i press delete nothing happends on my iPhone, and all the photo's are still in the camera roll.
My mac and iPhone 6 is running the latest version of iOS and Yosemite.

Please advice.
Best regards.

Try restarting your Mac and the phone
Or give Image Capture (in your applications folder) a try - it can delete photos from your phone too

How do I delete photos from my Iphone?

Pics synced to your iphone from your computer are deleted the same way - the sync process. Open itunes , connect iphone, select what you want on the iphone, sync.
Click Support at the top of this page, then click manuals so that you can delete photos from iPhone.
If it were the regular Photo stream, the album would be called "My Photo Stream", so it is not rhe Photo Stream you are looking at, but a regular album or an album syned from your mac.
Have you ever synced the iPhone and iPad wit your computer using iTunes? This really looks like the album "Photo Stream" is an album that has been synced to your iDevices using iTunes. Then they can only be removed by syncing again with iTunes, selecting to sync photos, but deselecting all photo albums in iTunes.
If it is a regular album, however, try to find the photos in your camera roll and delete photos from iPhone permanently. Then they will also vanish from the album. And photos, that have been edited, cannot be deleted at all, unless you revert them to original.

How can i retrieve deleted photos from iphone if i did not syn them with my itunes

If they were photos taken with your iPhone and you have Photo Stream activated through iCloud they are in the cloud. If not - they are in the wind.

I cannot delete photos from my iPhone since I did the update to IOS 7. I've searched the internet for answers, but nothing works! Maybe I don't understand how photostream works, but it seems as though I have the same photos on my iPhone multiple times and to delete them, I have to do it one by one.
Please help!!
Thank you

You can delete multiple photos off camera roll. Simply open the album "Camera Roll" (or which ever album contains the photos you wish to delete) and hit the edit button in the upper right hand corner. Touch the photos you want to get rid of and a red check will appear on them, then hit the delete button to delete photos from iPhone.

You cannot, unless they were there at last backup. You can try restoring from backup, losing anything done since the last sync.

How can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out

how can i delete songs from iPhone when they are grayed out. It doesnt let me delete from itunes either and its just taking up space on my iphone and i cant even listen to the song that are grayed out

I did this with about 100 songs, and the problem is everytime I connect my iphone with itunes, It will automatically sync back every single song I did delete on the phone by swiping.
I did search on google and found out that serveral people has this problem. The songs wont delete from itunes library.
So why do they even make this function if it only deletes the songs for a short time?
Best regards PelleRPG.

How can i delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

How can I delete photos from iphone 4s after transferring from pc?

acapetown is the one who really solved this for me: his suggestion to create an empty folder and sync to that was THE ONLY solution that actually worked for my iphone 4s. Everything else about uncheckign "sync" and unchecking events DID NOT WORK. I think there is more than one glitch in this system because I noticed a lot of other people struggling with the question. Now my phone is light as a feather again and I can actually benefit from backup to the Cloud. Thanks acapetown!

Unable to delete photos from iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A

My wife needs to free up some space on her iPhone so she can take more photos and videos. She has an iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A. In General > About the device shows a Capacity of 12.7 GB and Available 1.1 GB. She has 9 videos and 1,488 photos on this phone. She also pays about $4 a month for iCloud storage.
I've connected this device to our Mac and to one of our PCs. We are unable to remove the photos from this phone. Upon selecting a photo from any collection, I can see the trash can icon on the lower right, but it is greyed out.
Now, I've read that Apple makes it impossible to delete the photos that are synced to the iCloud. This makes sense, since the syncing process would add the photo back to your device if it's not detected in the cloud. Our dilemma is this. She needs additional space on her phone. She thought that the iCloud service would provide her with additional space beyond the limitations of her phone where she could store photos without using up her phone's storage space. Based on what I briefly read, it appears that we misunderstood the iCloud storage, at least in this regard.
Here is what I need to be able to do.
1. Back up the photos from her phone to one of our devices. Either the Mac or the PC, it makes no difference to me.
2. Then delete the photos from her phone, but retain them on the device where we backed them up.
I expected to be able to use Windows Explorer on the PC in Windows 7. But upon connecting the phone to the PC, there is no directory to the phone that shows me the image contents. Instead, there is a folder under "Computer" named "iCloud Photos". Selecting that shows a message where I expected to see a listing of contents on the device, which reads "iCloud Photos is not enabled" followed by a link "Open iCloud Control Panel". Selecting that link opens the iCloud dialog, showing iCloud Storage of 182.53 GB of 200 GB available.
Selecting the checkbox next to Photos and choosing the Options button just shows a dialog that lets me choose the iCloud Photos Location on my PC. But I don't see a list of the photos.
3. Where is a dialog that I can use to drag-and-drop in Windows 7 from the phone to a directory using Windows Explorer?
I need detailed, step-by-step instructions for this. Do we just need to cancel the iCloud account? The storage doesn't do us any good if upon deleting a photo from the iCloud the syncing process will delete photos from our computers and our phone. Do we need to configure the iCloud account differently? Also, how can we tell if a photo is locked in the cloud, and thereby permanently affixed to her iPhone.
Thanks for helping us. This has been very frustrating.

The "delete after Import" message will not always appear after the import. It appears, if you are importing from a camera or card, but I do not see it, when I import from a mobile device with iCloud Photo Library enabled and into a System Photo Library, that also uses iCloud Photo Library.
See the Photos Help: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6c803201
If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.
Unfortunately, this Help text does not state exactly, when it will be possible to delete after import and when not.

How do delete photos from iPhone but keep them on the cloud?

Is it possible to delete photos from an iPhone but keep them on the cloud? If not what is the purpose of buying extra storage for icloud If you phone can only hold up to 128gb?
finding it hard to get a straight answer on this, so maybe have to go to a local shop and find out.

Refer to this Faq.
How does iCloud Photo Library save space on my device?
iCloud Photo Library can move the original high-resolution photos and videos to iCloud and
replace them with lightweight, device-optimized versions on your iOS device. This helps you
make the most of your device storage while giving you access to more photos than ever.
You can turn on Optimize [device] Storage from Settings > iCloud > Photos or Settings >
Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. You will need
an Internet connection to access an original photo or video that’s stored only in iCloud.
Yes I want to know the answer too.
If I subscribe to iCloud storage but my iPhone can just hold up to 16 gb.
Why do I have to do it ? to make my iPad see photos from my iPhone?
I did try to disable icloud photo while i had 1gb photos stored in my iPhone
and wipe them out, yes ,nothing left, 0 data. but when I turn on iCloud Photo -
again. everything come back as preview photos but when I look at each, my phone
will download them all anyway. so, how can you manage space on devices actually?
if I have 16 gb on my phone , So I can see all of my 1tb photos on iCloud ?
and have enough space on the phone to do other things right?

How to delete photos from iPhone but not iPhoto?

iPhone 5S on iOS 8.1.2 with over 6,000 pictures, brand new Macbook Pro on 10.10.1 Yosemite. All my photos are synched to iPhoto, and I want to delete the photos from my iPhone to clear up storage. My main concern is not losing the photos in iPhoto the next time I plug my phone in. Half the things I researched say it'll delete them, other half says they won't. I just want to have a clear iPhone and be able to view my pictures on my Macbook. How do I go about this without wiping my Mac clean?

As I know, it won't delete the photos in iPhoto, but you can backup these photos on Mac to avoid any accident.
you can transfer Photos from iPhone to Mac with Image Capture
Connect your iPhone to Mac with USB cable > Run Image Capture on your Mac > Select your iPhone from the device list if it is not selected > Set the output folder for your iPhone photos > Click Import or Import all to transfer photos from iPhone to Mac.
BTW, you can also try to delete only one photos on iPhone first and see if it will disappeare on iPhoto to know what to to next.

Deleting Photos from iPhone

How do I delete synced photos from my iPhone? I don't have any problems deleting photos from my camera roll, but the "Devices Downloaded Files" and "My Photos" Folders i can't delete from. I've gone into iTunes and unchecked "Sync Photos from", and it says it will remove the photos from the iPhone when it syncs again but it hasn't yet. Any thoughts?

One thing that might help out.
When you sync photos via itunes, it tries to make a mirror copy of the source.
So, if you are syncing photos from a folder, this might help.
When you add photos to the folder and sync the iphone, itunes copies the new photos to the iphone.
To remove synced photos from the iphone, remove them from the folder you are syncing from.
Then sync the iphone.
Hope this helps.

"Over capacity": How can I delete photos from iPhone / set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone?

Hi,
My iPhone regularily goes over capacity because it stores, or tries to store, too many photos/videos from iCloud on the device.
How can I delete photos from the iPhone (but not generally from iCloud/Photostream). How can set the maximum capacity of iCloud photos to be downloaded to iPhone? (I am searching for a setting like "keep the last 2GB of photos/videos from iCloud/Photostream, but not more than that. I know how to turn iCloud off in total, but that is not what I would prefer to do, I just would like to set reasonable maximum.)
Thank you for your ideas!
Generally, I someone could point me to a good tutorial on how local photos vs. iCloud photos vs. Photostream are supposed to work that would be great as well, because I have many other problem with Apple's system in that regard as well (esp., despite that obviously a lot of space is taken up by photos/videos on my device, my iPhone still downloads recent photos/videos over 3G... I also have the problem that all photos appear double if I try to copy to my Mac with ImageCapture or iPhoto, but there is only a single copy (no HDR, burst or the like) when seen with the Photos.app of the iPhone itself... I came to believe that Apple's photo system is somewhere between counterintuitive and plainly not working... (/rant off) )

Sorry there are no settings to set max capacity.

Deleting photos from iphone album

I have an Iphone 3G on 4.2.1. I recently synchronised around 80 photos onto my phone but cannot seem to now delete them. How do you delete photos from photo albums ? When I synchronise, the photos box is unticked and I always answer "yes" to "do you wish to remove existing photos ?" (but it doesn't remove them)

The Camera Roll album contains the photos taken by the device or captured from other sources. When you copy a photo to another album, the whole photo is not copied. Instead a pointer is created in the new album that points to the original photo. If the original is deleted the pointers are also deleted.
If you really want to clear your Camera Roll album and keep the photos, back up the photos to the computer you normally sync with using iPhoto on a Mac or whatever image capture application you have on your pc. Once the photos are on your computer you can delete them from the Camera Roll on your iPhone and organize them how you like by putting them in albums in iPhoto on your Mac or into folders on your pc. Then sync your iPhone and select the albums you want on the phone.
The advantage to this system is that you have backup copies of your photos on your computer should something happen to your photos on the iPhone.
