How can I quickly delete all of my photos

I have more than 6,000 photos on my iPhone, but I recently synced them all to my Windows PC. So far as I can tell, the only way to delete them, is to select them one by one....and then they end up in the "recently deleted" photos folder, so I end up having to delete them twice. To delete more than 7,000 photos would take me days. I don't want to restore my phone to factory settings because I have all my apps, work email, songs, etc on my phone. Is there an easier way to delete all of these pictures?

Hi mallorymberry,
This can be done easily by re-importing the images to your PC, and choosing to delete the images from your iPhone when importing them. When importing to your PC again you may even choose to import the photos to a secondary location to be used for backup purposes.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC

To transfer your photos:
Transfer and erase the Camera Roll:
Connect the iPad to your computer and launch Image Capture, iPhoto, or Aperture.
Select your iPad in the Devices list and click "Import all".
When the import finishes, you can erase the contents of the Camera Roll, if you want. That would be the quickest way, but deleting it on the iPad in the Photos.app would be safer, but more work.
Delete photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply, and click Sync.
Delete the Photo Stream contents:
How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, and tap the trash can icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, and then select delete. When you delete a photo from Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the Photo Stream album or view on your other devices. Learn more about deleting photos.

How can we really delete all artifacts in workspace 9.3.1.?

Is there a way to really delete all artifacts (all published oce's, bqy's, docs, WA reports, folders, subfolders, etc) from workspace 9.3.1?
I noticed that deleting a folder does not remove the subfolders and docs from workspace but just makes it invisible. They still exist in the database. If you are able to recreate the sqame folder again (and with alcm you can) the artifact which were invisible are back again.
Because of this "bug" but also after multiple ALCM imports our testenvironment seems to have problems whic I like to solve by deleting all content and reimporting them with ALCM from file export from production.

Oracle "advises" to use the Interactive reporting JDK. Using the categorydelete program sample.
Well as this is fairly new to me I ask some advise from you experts :-)
I've been reading most parts of the developersguide now.
As far as I see I have to edit/ create a /cf file when I want to run a batch driver program.
I am able to run the program (at least it does not complain obout java or other errors anymore. But the batch_file.cf is not yet ready to do what I like to do.
Any one got a sample to run a recursive deletion of all content?
Hope to read from you.

How can't I delete all content on my domain..?

Hey Im pretty new to Dreamweaver and I don't know what to do about my problem. I've set up a domain and succesfully uploaded a homepage, but now a need to make changes to the page so I have deleted all the files on my domain, updated etc. in the manage site window, there's nothing to be seen in my remote folder but when I check online the page is still there - how do I get rid of the content completely..?

If the page is still online that you upload a few things could be happening.
-The path is wrong and you never actually viewed the file you uploaded
-There is a permissions issue on the server and there is an error you are not telling us about
-There is an issue on the hosting side (maybe documents were restored, server crash, etc.)
-There is a browser caching issue.
I would first recommend talking with your host in case the issue is server related and if it's not then we will start pointing you towards the log files to further diagnose.

How can i undo deleting all recent history?

I accidentently deleted all recent history when given instruction to only delete cookies and cache. Can i undo the information i deleted?

Which history items are you referring to?
The browsing history is stored in the places.sqlite file.
You can try to restore a previous version of the places.sqlite file if it is about history.

In iPhoto '08, I've been hitting the delete button to delete my photos for years, but they're not in trash and they've never really been deleted. How can I easily group all of these photos and permanently delete them?

I've been mistakingly hitting delete to delete photos after importing them into iphoto. I thought they were all being deleted off of my computer, but not so. They're not in either the system or iphoto trash. I was able to find all "original" and "duplicate" photos in finder folders. Yes I could delete each photo one by one again, but we're talking sifting through 40GB of photos.
Thank you very much for your suggestions!!!

Whoa!

Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things, deleting them or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

How can I have 3.3GB of back up on my camera roll when I have deleted ALL of my photos from my device?

My icloud is full and I do not undertstand how? I have deleted all of my photos, all of my e mails, etc. But it still says i have 3.4 GB on my camera roll and it will not back up to icloud anymore. It does not seem that there is a way to actually "see" what is on you icloud. Oh I can see the storage stats as to what amount of things are using up the storage, but I want to SEE the actual items on my icloud. Why all of a sudden is my icloud full? When I have no data to fill it?

You are correct that you can't see the specific files that are included in the backup. You can, of course, see all of your iCloud data from within the apps that your are syncing with iCloud, as well as on icloud.com.
The things listed under Backup Options are only the ones that you have to option to include/exclude, which is not everything in the backup. The backup includes:
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail
Apple also states (from http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12519), "It doesn't include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo streams, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps." (It is possible, however, to restore some if this from your backup with some effort; it just isn't officially supported.)
Music is not backed up. You can redownload purchased music from the iTunes store. Music from other sources should be in the iTunes library on your computer.
If you aren't going to back up your camera roll to iCloud be sure to import it to your computer as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

I used iCloud before I updated to the new iOS 6 and now I only have 44 pictures how can I get them all back?

Photo stream only keeps your photos for 30 days. After that, they are removed from your photo stream but not from any device that has already received them. Chances are, the 44 photos are from the last 30 days; the others are not there because they are no longer in your photo stream.
If the photos were in your camera roll when you last backed up, restoring to the backup should recover them. However, you will have to restore to the entire backup to do so. If they weren't backed up or imported to your computer, there is no way to recover them now.
To be sure your photos are saved, regularly import them from the camera roll to your computer as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Thanks.. J

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"? To my horror, I've emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes (and why do I need to enter this question three times?"

How can I prevent deleted mail from ending up in "All Mail" and "Archives"?
To my horror, I emptied these boxes and lost all my mail from all my boxes .
All mail also disappeared from my iPad, I suppose because they are "synched"
(Also, no offense, but why do I need to enter this question multiple times?)
Thanks for any thoughts.

I'm having a similar but slightly different problem. My company just migrated to Gmail, and it's saving mail drafts every 30 seconds into my Trash folder.
I unchecked the "Show in IMAP" preference in the Gmail settings, but my Drafts folder completely disappeared. I went back and checked it and the folder reappeared (with my drafts still in there).
I like the idea if starting an email on my laptop and having the option of finishing it on my iPhone or iPad, so only saving Drafts locally would not be ideal.

Restore from backup if you have one:
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

How can I quickly toggle through all of my open files in an application?

How can I quickly toggle through all of my open files in an application? For instance, if I want to bounce back and forth between three documents that I have open in Microsoft Word?

You use a combination of OS X Spaces with Exposé to be able to accomplish this.
Or in your case, look at using Mission Control

You should have been syncing your contacts to your computer regularly. Just sync them back ot the iphone from your computer.
