How do I delete photos from the gallery that were downloaded from FB or google?

New user. I am trying to delete photos from my gallery in the Samsung S4. If I had taken the photos with the camera phone, the trashcan shows up and I can delete. But if I select the downloaded photos- no trashcan icon shows up. I have tried stopping sync, deleting downloads etc. It's driving me nuts!

Checking a friends S4 I see that using the Gallery app that long-pressing checks the photo and brings up a Trash Can. I see that tapping a phot opens it full screen and tapping once again brings up options to send, share, or delete. Pictures in other folders to include Bluetooth share, messaging, and screenshots produces the same results.

There is NO other way to get photos off your phone, that were synced to your phone, other than through the iTunes sync process. Just make sure there are no checks, in any boxes, for any photos, that you do not want on your phone.

How do I delete photos on my iPhone that were transferred from iPhoto to my phone?

I recently transfered most of my photos from my iphone to iphoto on my macbook. A couple of days later I transfered some of them back onto my iphone, but now when i look at them on my iphone there is no way to delete them there. Ive tried everything but nothing works. I simply cannot delete photos on my iphone that were transfered there from iphoto.
I thought apple was supposed to make things easier, but apparently not.

Correct. You need to Un-sync them using your Computer.
Basically do the opposite of what you did to get them on your Device.

How do i delete photos on my iphone that were previously deleted from itunes? cannot remove photos from iphone album. trash can is greyed out.

how do i delete photos on my iphone that have already been deleted from my windows laptop? The photos cannot be selected and removed from the iphone album. trash can is greyed out.

You should be able to delete the photos by syncing with iTunes. Either remove the checkmark beside "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes or change the selection of photos to be synced. Each time you sync it is supposed to set the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone to match the current settings/selection in iTunes.

Deleting photos on iPhone 5 that were imported from another phone?

Hi, I just have a question regarding the deletion of photos from my new iPhone 5. The photos in question are not photos that I have taken since I got the new phone but those that were transferred from my old phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) by an agent in the store where I bought it. The photos appear in an album called 'sii pics', presumably created by the agent, but there appears to be no option to delete them: there is no trash can icon, no delete button and the album doesn't appear in iTunes either. I have posted this on my phone carrier's community support website but they couldn't come up with an answer. Anyone here have any ideas? Thanks.

If the photos came to the new iPhone after being synced in iTunes to a computer, then you will need to uncheck photos in iTunes for that new iPhone and sync/Apply the changes.
If these photos are listed in the My Photo Stream on the new device, its becasue both phones are using the same Apple ID in Settings > iCloud.
If you want to use the same account, everything will continue to sync from Settings > iCloud that is turned on, turn off Photos in there to stop uploading photos to My Photo Stream, or Delete Account and either don't use iCloud or set it up with your own account/email address.

HT204022 How do I delete photos on my phone that were synced in from iPhoto? I do not want these photos on my phone!

This is what the website says to do:
On an iOS 7 device
In the Photos app, tap Shared at the bottom of the screen, then tap Streams at the top of the screen.
Tap the shared stream you want to remove, tap People, then tap Unsubscribe (if you’re a subscriber) or Delete Photo Stream (if you’re the owner).
You can also tap Shared, tap Edit, tap the Remove button on the left side of the shared stream you want to remove, then tap Unsubscribe (if you’re a subscriber) or Delete (if you’re the owner).
However, when I go into my photos app, there is nothing that says "shared" at the bottom of the screen.

unsync via itunes
plug device into computer - open itunes- click name of device click photos- uncheck all photos you want to remove- sync or apply at bottom
Peace, Clyde

How do I delete photos on my iPad that were added with the SD card adaptor?

I added photos to my iPad using the SD Card Adaptor over a year ago. They now appear in the 'Photos' tab on the iPad. They are not in Photo Stream and they do not appear in Albums under Camera Roll or Last Import. I have connected my iPad to the PC and opened the DCIM folder and they are not there at all.
I have Googled this question repeatedly and can not find an answer. I have viewed many YouTube tutorials that I thought would give me the right answer and... nope.
Can anyone please help?

Thanks Clyde. But the photos do not show up in iTunes either!
Well, let's just say, that I can't see them there! All I see in iTunes under Photos is the option to Sync photos.

HT6154 How do I delete photos on my iPhone that were not taken on my phone, but somehow got synced with my computer?

I have many photos on my phone that I want to delete. They were taken with a camera and imported to my MacBookPro. When I synced my iphone, the photos got added to my phone. I cannot delete them. How do I get rid of them?

You delete them by syncing again using iTunes. If you want to delete all previously synced photos, remove the checkmark in front of "Sync Photos From" on the photos page of iTunes (after you have connected the phone and before you sync). If you just want to remove some of the photos, change the selection of photos to be synced in that same page on iTunes. Each time you sync via iTunes, the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone are set to match the current iTunes settings.

How do i delete photos on iphone 4 that were synced in itunes

Any idea why they cannot be deleted straight from the iphone?

Because this is not how it works. Never has been.
You delete them the same way you put them there. The sync process.
Deselect them and sync.
The iphone is not a storage device. It simply mirrors the selected content of your comptuer.

How to delet photos that were downloaded from the computer?

Resync the iPad with the computer, but before doing so, click on the device once it is hooked up to iTunes. You will see the Device Profile to the right with several tabs - Photos being one of them. Select the Photos tab, and either uncheck the Sync Photos box at the top (if you don't want any of the photos to be on your device), or uncheck the selected photos you no longer want to sync.
Cheers,

How do i delete photos in the uploads folder

how do i delete photos in the uploads folder

Do you mean photos that were synced from a computer ? If you do then you will need to reconnect your iPad or iPhone (this is the Using iPad forum) to your computer's iTunes and move/remove/de-select them from where they were synced from on your computer and re-sync - synced photos can't be deleted directly on a device

How do I delete photos in the icloud and have them stay gone?

How do I delete photos in the icloud and have them stay gone!

The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

How can I delete photos in the "Edited" album in the iPhoto app on my iPad??

How can I delete photos in the "Edited" folder in the iPhoto App on my iPad?

What a pain...you must go through all that to remove it?! So many unessary steps!
I also find that when I sync up a new photo folder to replace the old set that I previously wiped out and replaced it staggers afew pictures from before in with the new and will not show all of the new....so frustrating!!! I even close out iPhoto and go into the photo album and all the photos that synced up which are the ones I do want are all there....it's so different than what I see the album in iPhoto. Why Apple WHY??
