Deleting photos from iPad's Photo Library

I have deleted all photos (camera roll and photo stream) from ipad, but usage still shows the iPad's Photo Library as having 5.2GB of photos. How can you delete them? I've tried in iTunes and iPhoto. They just aren't there.
Thanks in advance!

Do you have iCloud Photo Library enabled? If you have photos in iCloud and  iCloud Photo Library Beta is enabled on the iPad, the the iPad will store previews of the photos in iCloud.

    You can't delete the Photo Library. The iPhone stores photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos are synced to your Photo Library. The various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which are in your Photo Library, they are not duplicates.

  • HT4236 how delete photo library on the iphone 5

    How do I delete photo library on the iphone 5?  I have tried going to settings, general, usage, photos & camera, photo library, swipped it and hit delete but it does not delete the photos in photo library.

    You delete them the same way you put it on the phone, unsync it with itunes.  you can only delete pics from your camera roll.

  • Photostream deleting pictures from ipad when it posts a new one, why is this happening?

    photostream keeps deleting pictures from ipad when it posts a new one, why is this happening?

    keeps deleting pictures from ipad
    Where is it deleting the photos from? The Camera Roll? The Photo Stream album?
    Have you exceeded one of the limits? The Photo Stream album will only keep the last 1000 photos and may remove the older photos, if you have more than 1000 photos in the stream.
    See: iCloud: Photo Stream limits

  • Deleting songs from a single iTunes library?

    I recently got a new laptop, and transferred many of my songs off of my desktop computer to my new one. I have home sharing turned on between the two. I want to delete songs from my laptop's library that I don't want, without deleting them from my main desktop. Every time I attempt to delete a song, it pulls up with the option of deleting it with computer's synchronized with mine, as well as from iCloud. I don't want to delete it from the computer synchronized with mine (Desktop) or from iCloud. Even if I turn off homesharing and try to delete music, it won't remove the music without my checking of the 'Remove from iCloud' box, only making a little cloud download sign next to the song. I'm trying to get organized and I need help.
    Thanks!

    not in iTunes, but you can use this:
    Lossless to AAC Workflow v2.2 
    Two scripts assist with importing/managing Apple Lossless or AIFF audio files and sending converted AAC copies to a mounted iPod set to "manually manage songs and videos".
    Lossless to AAC Workflow (CD->iPod):
    Imports each enabled CD track as an Apple Lossless or AIFF file Makes a converted AAC copy of each imported file Adds the AAC file to iPod, deleting the original AAC from iTunes.
    Lossless to AAC Workflow (iTunes->iPod):
    Makes a converted AAC copy of each Apple Lossless or AIFF track selected in iTunes Adds the AAC file to iPod, deleting the original AAC from iTunes. In this way you can keep archived lossless files on your hard drive, and manageable AAC files on your iPod.
    Yes, iTunes 9.1 will auto-encode tracks to iPod, but only 128 kbps AAC; these scripts enable use of your Custom AAC encoder setting.

    how to delete app from iPad mini

    Press and hold any of the apps on your iPad's homescreen and after a couple of seconds or so they should start to shake. Then press the 'x' in the left corner to delete the ones that you don't want, and when you've finished deleting press the home button so as to stop the shaking. If you don't get the 'x' on any of the apps that you've downloaded (you can't delete built-in apps) then check that Settings > General > Restrictions > Deleting Apps isn't set 'off'

  • I see how to delete songs from iPad, but there are some that won't give me the option to delete when I swipe it. Why won't it let me?

    I see how to delete songs from iPad, but there are some songs that don't give me the option to delete when I swipe them. Why can't I get rid of these songs?

    Do they have a cloud icon next to them? If they do, they aren't on the iPad so you can't delete them. They are in iCloud ready for you to download them if you want to and they are visible in the music app for this purpose.
    If you don't want to see these songs that are in iCloud, go to Settings> iTunes & App Store>Show all>Music>Off.

    Welcome to the Apple Community,
    Simply swipe the song listing on the iPad, a delete button will appear, tap it and a cloud icon will appear showing its been deleted and can be downloaded from iTunes match again.
    In addition to being able to delete a single tune, you can also delete an album or an artist.

  • Recover deleted text from ipad

    Does anyone know ho to Recover a  deleted text from ipad

    It's not possible to recover a deleted text unless the text existed on the device the last time it was backed up.
    If that is the case, restore the device from the backup... where the device is backed up is irrelevant.

  • 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.

  • 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
