How do i delete multiple photos at one time from the cameral roll on iPhone?

I need space on my iPhone4s, and have thousands of photos on the camera roll, which are backed up on my computer, so want to delete them. MUST I delete by choosing them individually and deleting, or is there a way to mass delete them?

I just had the same problem.  I had 8.6 GB of photos on my camera roll, and my new iPhone only had 16 GB. The error message telling me that I had run out of space kept coming up, and I couldn't take any more pictures. So I followed wjosten's suggestions.

Launch Image Capture from your applications folder, connect your phone...does Image Capture see the photos? If so, you can use Image Capture to delete them.
It really only helped to have a mac, and image capture ran perfectly.
*When you open Image Capture, all I had to do was click on the red warning/danger sign to delete the selected photos.  I have my phone streaming with my Mac, so I didn't discriminate between all my old photos had already been backed up.

  • Can I delete multiple songs at one time from my iPad mini

    Is there a way to delete multiple songs at one time without doing a hard reset?

    Here are two ways I would try:
    You can hold down your shift key while selecting playlists. This allows you to select multiple items. However, it does not allow you to skip over a playlist. All contiguous lists will be selected using this method. Once you have all the playlists selected, right click on the selection and choose delete.
    If method one won't work because you want to pick and choose lists to delete, I'd make a folder and pull all of the lists I don't want into this folder. Then you can delete the whole folder. Once you have all of the playlists you no longer want in the folder, just right click on the folder and choose delete.

  • How do I delete multiple photos at a time on my iphone 5 without connecting to my mac or other computer? And without deleting ALL photos from my iphone?

    Well, I guess my heading says it all. I am trying to delete multiple (like A LOT) of photos from my camera roll on my iphone 5 without connecting to my computer. All other instructions I've read on here do not work. (I'm not saying I read ALL instructions though) But the ones I've read, do not work.
    I DO NOT want to connect to my computer to do this, so please read what I am asking! It HAS to be possible, it's just downright silly if it isn't and I'll be ****** about the 3 grand I've given to Apple in the last few months for various reasons...
    Thank you in advance for any responses.

    Okay. Awesome! I feel like such a dodo that was so freaking simple!
    Now I have another simple person question that feels stupid too but oh well apparently my brain doesn't like to work at 5 a.m. when I am in bad pain but...
    Okay, so I've deleted them from my phone manually, they are already ALL on my mac, when I plug my phone back into my mac to sync music and any New photos, will the old photos that I deleted that are on the mac, go back on the phone? Der. I feel like I already know the answer, but I'm asking anyways...
    Please, thank you, and sorry in advance!

  • How do I delete multiple emails at one time

    I have a ton of emails that I don't need to keep on my iPad. Is there a way to delete everything at once without tapping each individual email? If not, can I just delete the accounts and then re-enter them?
    Thanks,

    You can do it from the Email app the way described by Japid, it's still not fast by any means at all. but, I believe that if you use Yahoo or Google, etc.......you can go to the site on Safari and log into your, say, Yahoo account from there. That should give you more & faster options for deleting groups of e-mails at a time. I know, I literally have tens of thousands on an account I've had for years. I should just delete it, but I'm unable to convince myself for some stupid reason, as if I'm going to miss some important  message from a work mate I had 8 years and 2 jobs ago or something lame.  

  • How do I delete    all contacts (at one time) from i      phone4

    Somehow I have gotten mutilple listing in contacts.  How do I delete all contacts from I phone and start over?

        baprawski,
    Is there a particular reason why you want to delete the contacts all at once? The only way you can delete all the contacts all one time would be to wipe the device. This will complete erase all data on the phone including the contacts.
    You want to make sure you backup your device uisng the desktop manager. Once you perform the wipe you can then backup your contacts using the desktop manager and just make sure to uncheck the Contacts when backing up so they are not added back to your phone.

  • How can I delete multiple files at a time from "Finder"

    I can't possible delete the thousands of junk files that showed up in Finder once I downloaded Maverick.  I can't delete more than one at a time now.  Why won't the highlighting stay in place on more than one file that I want to delete?

    How are you trying to select multiple files?
    What makes you think that "thousands of junk files [...] showed up in Finder once I downloaded Maverick" (or even installed it)?

    In Adobe Photoshop Elements 7.0, how can I delete multiple photos at the same time?   Please be a little specific so I can follow your instructions as I'm not real smart at computers; I'm an intermediate user.  Thank you.

    Shift-click the photos or Ctrl-click them to select them, then right-click one of them and choose Delete from Catalog. They will all go together.

  • How do I delete multiple photos from the Camera Roll?

    How do I delete multiple photos from camera roll without doing it one at a time?

    Thanks for your posts on this - it's something I've been wondering about, too.
    I do agree with Bonzo that it seems strange that there isn't a way to do it *efficiently* without having to hook the iPad to a computer.
    I know there is an alternative: in other words, you're right, Lawrence - it is possible to delete multiple files at once by following your instructions (i.e. tapping on each photo once, etc.) - but if you want to delete lots of photos, it takes ages to tap on every one of them.
    Does anyone else out there know of a way to delete multiple photos on the iPad/iPhone/iPod touch without having to tap on each photo separately, or having to hook up to a computer?
    I'd be really grateful for any help on this. Thanks!

  • How do I delete multiple photos from library?

    Hi All
    On my iphone - how do I delete multiple photos from the library without having to do 1 at a time?
    Thanks

    In the album, tap on the little forward arrow in the upper right corner. From there you can tap as many photos as you'd like, and at the bottom, you'll have the options to Share, Copy, Add To, or Delete.
