Hidden & Recently deleted Albums in Photos on IOS 8
Having just updated to IOS8 and lost iPhoto without warning I am trying to get my head round the new features in Photos.
If I want to clear space how can I do that if the deleted items are now moved into a Recently Deleted Album?
And
If the point of the Hidden Album is to hide photos how do you stop someone looking at them if all you have to do is tap on the album and it opens?
Sorry if I am missing the obvious!
And does anyone know of a replacement photo editing app please! I need to have something where I can add titles, at my age I will never remember where the heck I took the photo otherwise!
OK, I've got a similar, but more irritating, problem.
My iPad Air 16GB had too many photos on, using up nearly 4GB of space. So I archived these photos and got rid of all but about 25.
In the next couple of weeks I was a lot better at housekeeping my photos and deleted them every couple of days.
Next time I wanted to do an iTunes sync, I noticed Photos was still taking up about 4 GB. Hmm, so I had a look on the net and saw the recently deleted photos "feature" and how to deal with it. Great I said to myself and went to the "recently deleted" folder where it had only about 40 photos. So i deleted these i.e. ALL the photos in "recently deleted". But still iTunes and the iPad were reporting photo usage as around 4GB. Grrr
So I backed up my iPad, reset it to factory settings and restored. Still 4GB being reported as photos, still an empty "recently deleted" folder, just the 25 photos I'd saved. Huh?????
So I fired up Syncios - lo and behold it says there are about 2,300 photos in recently deleted. But Syncios won't let me delete them and I can't see them on my iPad or on iTunes to delete them. So what the **** do I do?????

IOS 8 - deleted photos not showing in Recently Deleted album
Updated iPhone 5 to iOS 8, noticed that the Camera Roll has disappeared, extremely anoying, and you are not able to see all the photos on the phone, instead only the recently added. Did some research and found that they are all in the photos. Also, found that when deleting a photo it first goes to the Recently Deleted album.
Tried it out by deleting some photos, however, no photos show in the Recently Deleted album. Asked the Apple store staff and they do not know either why it is not showing in the Recently Deleted album.
Anyone has an idea as to why and how to fix?Hi tech.smart79,
Thanks for you reply.
As a matter of fact I did do a backup on my computer via iTunes, then did the update to iOS 8 via iTunes and had to restore the phone from that backup, which was also done via iTunes.
All photos are on the Photos, located at the bottom right in the Albums. -

I can't find the Recently Deleted album on my iPad mini
Where is the Recently Deleted album on my iPad mini? I've gone into settings>General>usage>manage storage.
The Recently Deleted Album is in the Photos App. Look in Album View.

My iPhone 6 does not have a "recently deleted" album in the camera roll? why not?
my phone does not have a "recently deleted" album. I have photos on my phone and I can see them if I click on "photos" app and hit "photos" in the bottom left. But when I go to "albums" I the bottom right it says I have no photos and no "recently deleted" album either.
can anyone explain why I wouldn't have these?
Thanks!The reason you don't have "Recently Deleted" is you are using iCloud Photo Library (Beta).
Go to Settings > Photos & Camera and turn off "ICloud Photo Library (Beta)". -
IPad 1, how to delete albums in photo?
I have an ipad1 with ios5+ operating on it. I want to delete albums in photo. How do it do it?
1. If album was created directly on the iPad then you should be able to delete it using the Edit button.
2. If album was synced from a computer then it can't be deleted directly on the iPad, you will need to reconnect the iPad to your computer's iTunes, de-select that album/folder on the Photos tab and re-sync. -

How to hide albums or photos in IOS 8 ?!
For photos go to the photo you want to hide, tap and hold the photo and you will see the option to hide it. There is not an option to hide an entire photo album.

My Photos missing recently added album, and Photo Booth's irritating
Air 2 8.1.2. Just noticed that the 'recently added' album is missing from My Photos. I've restarted my iPad, but it ain't come back, to the best of my recollection, I've not hidden anything (didn't think those albums could be hidden, anyway). I've 'recently deleted', 'panoramas', 'favourites', and a couple I've created, but that's it. can anyone hazard a guess as to where it's done a runner to, and how I can apprehend it and put it back where it belongs…?
Secondly, how do I hide the 'photo strip' which runs along the bottom of the screen, just above the toolbar, in Photo Booth…? I don't use it all that often, but I'm certain the last time I did, the teken pics 'slipped' into a kind of invisible 'packet' at the bottom-right of the screen, just like they do when you're using the normal camera. im 99% certain I've not toggled a 'show/hide photo strip' setting anywhere, because there don't appear to BE any settings in PB. I'd really rather have it back the way it was, because having that strip there obscures too much of the screen.
Cheers, mateys!
SJIt sent - HTF did that happen…?! It's also only listing my old Touch which I no longer own. Y'see, this is the main reason I don't don't fora, they confuse the feck outta me, that and they have people in 'em; actual hominids of the species Homo sapiens sapiens with whom I'm forced to interact.
Sorry, about that I'm sure you can fathom out what the header's supposed to read. Why in the name of all that is sentient, won't Apple allow edits…?! Now it's made me reply to me own post, and I'm thought of as crazy enough round these parts!
You'll get your just desserts, Apple, one day it'lol all go pear-shaped and your empire will crumble…
You'll be pleased to know I'm now out of puns de pomme. -

How to delete albums from photos

Hey urbkuhl,
Thanks for the question. I understand you wish to remove synced photos from your device. The following article outlines how to do so:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4236
To delete synced photos and videos from your device

2. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
3. Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
4. Click Apply.
Enjoy your new iPad Air!

Deleting album called "Photos" under iPhoto
After importing my iPhoto library, three folders showed up in Aperture. A "root" folder called iPhoto, and two sub-folders - "events" and "Photos." The import was to add iPhoto to the Aperture library (masters). I have re-organized the event projects out of the iPhoto folder. Now all that is left is the album titled "photos." My question is this - can I now delete this folder. When I place the cursor over it, it says "2046 versions."
Delete Album will only remove the album. The image masters reside in a project and will remain there.
Deleting a folder will remove everything in it to the trash. If there are projects in the folder all the masters in the project go to the trash. Remove any projects you need first. Allan -
How to delete album in photo apps?
A friend loaded 291 pics into Photo apps of my iPad from his mac. I am using Windows Vista, I would like to delete for ever all those pics. How to do it? Than k you.
Photos that were synced from a computer can only be deleted by re-syncing. So connect your iPad to your computer's iTunes, and on the Photos tab that shows on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've selected the iPad 'device' on the left, either select a folder of your own photos to sync or just select an empty folder - as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad, when you sync your photos (or empty folder) the existing synced photos will be removed.

How to remove recently deleted photo album off iPhone by iTunes?
Using iTunes how can i remove the recently deleted photos from my iPhone 4s?
You can't remove the "Recently Deleted"album off your iPhone. You can empty the folder or wait for the photos in the folder to age out (30 days).
This is a feature added to help the many users who accidentally deleted photos from their iPhones, iPads, etc. or later had second thoughts about the deletions.
