How can I get rid of hidden photos in my iPad?

Yes, I've seen this question from others and all of its answers: just connect the iPad to your computer, go to iTunes, go to the tab Photos etc.
I have 4.5 Gb (300 photos) on my iPad that I can not find anywhere.
I understand they are synced from somewhere on my computer, but I don't know from where since I can not see the photos on my iPad.
In iTunes
- I can select or deselect 'Sync Photos' and then click on 'Sync' in the bottom right corner of my screen without any result.
- I can sync to some empty folder I created for the occasion without any result.
- I can choose an empty album and sync to it without any result.
If I select sync with 'All photo's, albums, events and faces' I can see (at the bottom of the page on the bar showing what amount of space is used by what on my iPad)  the amount of space Photos use on my iPad increase. If I choose 'Selected albums' the amount of space decreases back to the original 4,5 Gb, although there are NO albums and NO events selected in the list below. One should expect that syncing with an empty folder would create an 'empty' result - it does not.
So the solutions given in the various posts on this subject don't seem to work for me.
(and I am rather disappointed in Apple because I love their products for their ease of use…)
Anyone out there who understands the description of my problem AND has a solution?
Many thanks in advance!

When you say that you can't find them anywhere, I assume that you mean that you can't find them on the iPad even though the storage figure says that the photos are there.
You can try this. I don't know if this will work for you but this was recently discovered as solution for phantom photos. This was copied from a post started by gail from maine
Delete all of your Recently Deleted photos from your Recently Deleted folder
Then go to Settings>General>Date & Time, and change the date back to last September when iOS 8 came out, and then go back to the Recently Deleted folder. Although at the Album level it will still say "0" if you tap on the Album, you will be greeted by all of the "Recently Deleted" photos that have surpassed the 30 day limit. Mine went back to when I installed iOS 8.
She found this in a post where txforever  was the person that discovered how to do this.
More photos in settings than photos app shows

  • HT2500 how can i get rid of my photo on emails

    In the last week my outgoing emails and any email I print have a small square photo of me on them.  DISLIKE!  How can I get rid of this?  Any help is appreciated.

    That photo is not transmitted with the email. It is just a little tinsel thing that shows in Mail and address book, but only on your computer, no-one elses.
    I think playing around with Photobooth adds it, but if you go to System preferences Accounts, the photo will be there as well, and it is editable if you click on it. Change it to something else.

  • Can not get rid of cannot verify server identity pop up, how can i get rid of it for 3rd gerneration ipad?

    how can I get rid of cannot verify server identity pop up on my new 3rd generation ipad?

    A [http://www.google.com/search?q=Brookwood+Internist+Birmingham&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a Google search] shows the website, but it still doesn't load - it shows the Go-Daddy '''Want to buy this domain?''' page.
    Using a DNS Lookup for that domain - http://68.178.232.100/ doesn't load that web site either. It shows '''This site is not currently available.'''
    Might be a server problem where that website is hosted, a DNS problem, or an expired domain name ''(but when that happens the message is usually '''expired registration''')''.
    Call your doctors office Monday morning and tell them that their website won't load. It's something that their webmaster needs to look into, along with their web hosting service ''(which I guess is Go-Daddy)''.

  • I cut photos from folder and exit iPhoto. When I return, the photos are back. how can I get rid of them?

    How can I get rid of unwanted photos.  As I'm going along removing pictures, they seem to be gone.  When I return to iPhoto, they are back.

    The original images are in your Library section - (events and photos).  In order to delete them permanently, you need to select the image, and drag it to the trash in the left hand column of iPhoto, or go to "photos / move to trash".
    This puts them in the iPhoto trash, and they are still not gone.  To delete them completely, you must select trash in the left, then select to empty iPhoto trash.
    All images you see in albums, or slideshow, are just short cuts back to the originals, in the events and photos sections.  If you delete them from albums, they are still in the library section.

  • Rented movies won't delete; how can I get rid of them?

    They have been on my iPad longer than 30 days, and I can no longer access them, but they are eating up memory and I can't download anything new. Can't find the files on my computer to erase the files there. I am at a loss. How can i get rid of the movies on my iPad?

    Try tapping Videos, swiping your finger across the movie and then tapping delete.
    If you can't delete the movie that way, try checking Manually managing music and videos from the iPad Summary tab in iTunes, then click the triangle to the left of the iPad under Devices in iTunes. Then delete the movie from the iPad using iTunes by clicking Movies under the iPad and right-cicking the movie and choosing delete.

    As per the heading.  Foldover at bottom of screen.  How can I get rid of it?

    Reset the iPad and see if that makes the screen return to normal.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

    How can I get rid of photos that were downloaded from my computer?  I need to free up space on my iPad

    Assuming that you synced the photos from iTunes - or whatever downloaded means - you must use iTunes again in order to remove the songs from the iPad. You have to uncheck the albums in the photos folder that you sync from in the Photos tab of iTunes and follow that with a sync.
