How do I delete photo library on my phone

My memory is getting sucked up because of my photo library. And finally discovered where pictures went that I just took but not going into my camera roll. I saw a suggestion via Google and deleted my photo library AND everything else but the camera roll. I did back up everything before I did, too. But then I was blocked from adding any of my picture files until I allowed the photo library back onto my phone. And then it's back to sucking up my memory. I just got my 32GB iPhone 5 and cannot afford to get the 64GB one. But that would be wasted if all my pictures go into this sunflower box! And you cannot delete any picture, never mind the file. Please help! I don't have a lot of apps, but I've had to delete them to take a picture or shoot a short video. It's that bad!

I went to second link. On my laptop, from sync photos from, my only choice is pictures. I do not have either of the folders the second link mentions. On my list on my laptop (Windows Vista), I was hoping Photo Stream was the same as the Photo Library as it has the same sunflower button. All this did was ADD photo stream onto my phone. But I was able to delete it. So I say again, I really want this tab/app off my phone and I cannot seem to be able to get it off of it.

    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.

    How do I erase photo albums on my phone that came from my computer

    Connect the iPhone to the computer with iTunes running, select the iPhone in the device pane, select the Photo tab in iTunes, deselect the checkmark for the photos that you want to remove and perform a sync.
    Photos that have been synced from the computer can only be removed by the sync process.

  • 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.

  • How do I Delete Photo Library and Albums on iphone 5

    Someone please help me!!! I've been all over trying to get help.  My photos are safely on my PC.  I was able to delete all the photos on the Camera Roll only.  I need to delete all albums including PHOTO LIBRARY which has over 3000 photos.  I don't want any photos on my phone.
    Does Apple prevent this so you will have to buy more storage?  You should be able to delete an album.

    Connect the phone to your computer, click on the iPhone name in iTunes, click on the Photos tab. Check Seleted folders. Uncheck the albums you don't want on the phone, then click Sync.

    There are photo albums which have synced to my phone when I connected it to my computer.  I do not want these albums on my phone since they take up a lot of memory.  How do I delete these albums?  For some reason it is not as straight forward as deleting a photo from the camera roll.  Please help.

    You'll have to un sync them via iTunes on the computer
    You'll just open itunes
    connect your iPhone
    click on your device
    click the "photos" tab
    and uncheck the box that says "sync photos"
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I delete photos from my phone

    how can I delete photos from my i phone after synching w/ my macbook (i photo)?

    If what you want to do is just delete a picture, just touch the trashcan while you're looking at the photo on your phone.  On the other hand, if what you want to do is delete all the pictures from the phone after you transfer them to your computer, there is a checkbox on the screen when you transfer them into iPhoto asking whether to delete the selected pictures from the camera.

    Replying to my own post - heh. I downloaded iExplorer (http://www.macroplant.com/iexplorer/) which allowed me access to the files on the phone and there was the phantom movie in the DCIM folder. Deleted it, and all is well - although I still have 0.65gb of Other in iTunes.....
