How do I permanently delete a photo album?

how do I permanently delete a photo album?

Hi xanadu711,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
Was the photo album created on the iPhone or synced from iTunes?
If the album was synced using iTunes, follow these instructions to remove it:
iTunes: Syncing photos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4236
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
Click Apply.
If the photo album was created on the iPhone, follow these instructions on page 73 of the iPhone User Guide to remove it:
manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
I hope this information helps ....
Happy Holidays!

  • How do I permanently delete a photo off the iphone 5 so that it can not be recovered?

    I want to permanently delete a photo from an iphone 5 so that it can not be recovered?  How can I do this?

    You can perform an erase all contents and settings direct on the iPhone which is a secure erase of everything except iOS and the included apps and not restore your iPhone from the backup. Start as new with no existing data or settings whatsover that is currently available on the iPhone.
    If this photo has been deleted from the Camera Roll, when updating the iPhone's backup that deleted photo will not be included.

  • How do I permanently delete this U2 album off my iphone?

    Apple does this without our permission and just randomly added this album. Not everyone likes U2!
    I delete it and the the whole album including the songs stay on my iphone
    HOW DO I FIX THIS
    Really annoyed apple customer

    On any iOS device go to Settings > Music and turn off Show All Music.
    This should turn off cloud items. You may sometimes need to reset the device.
    Swipe to delete the tracks if they were automatically downloaded to the phone.
    If you can't remove them by swiping review your sync options when connected to iTunes and sync.
    If syncing cannot remove unwanted content, backup the device, restore as a new device, then restore from the backup.
    In iTunes go to iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music and hide the items you don't want.
    Click the small X at the top left of the album that appears when you run your cursor over it and it has gone.

  • How do i delete a photo album sent from my pc from my iphone 5c

    this website is useless, talk about being led a merry dance by apple!
    All I want to know is how the **** do i delete a photo album (sent from my pc) from my iphone 5c....how hard can it be to find out??????

    Cheers Chris,
    I was not being disrespectful to the forum, I was however doing so to Apple and their usless customer service, technical support, website that takes you round and round in circles and total lack of contact us facility (unless you live in the US).
    Everywhere I go they want me to log in AGAIN and AGAIN and then they send stupid messsages to my phone that do nothing unlike they tell me. For something so simple it has taken days and I mean days for them to even let me find how to post the message asking for help and as for my local Apple store....don't get me started as they didn't know how to do it.
    It's not very well explained anywhere and I have done it by default following your reply so thanks. They go on about being a super company but ask them directly for help and nothing. In all honesty when I go to itunes it doesn't show you any way to remove such albums and all I can see is the sync thing that says what do I want to sync...I did it by syncing an empty folder from my pc, shouldn't be that hidden and un-explained.
    Cheers again and apologies if you thought I was being rude.

  • How can I permanently delete photos from my boyfriends phone??

    Hi all,
    My boyfriend has photos of me that I dont want him to have.
    I've asked him to delete them but he jokes that he will.... eventually.
    He has an iPhone 4S. I want to permanently delete some photos he has, I dont want him to be able to do some kind of sync or backup & have them again.
    If I deleted them from his iTunes.. his desktop picture folders.. his PC recycle bin AND deleted them off his phone, will he still be able to find them?? Also if he does an update in the future, will they somehow appear again? And how can I know if he has synced them to iCloud/set up iCloud?
    Thanks in advance

    Theyre all in his Camera Roll. I've never downloaded/updated the iCloud control panel on my pc,
    So he syncs only to your PC?
    I dont think he has the Shared Photo Stream option on, but I'll check. If he does have it, is it simple to access it?
    Open the Photos app, tap Shared at bottom to see any Shared Photo Streams.
    My Photo Stream is in Albums.

    How do I permanently delete photos? I am running Yosemite 10.10.2 and have tried shift cmd delete and that doesn't work.

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

  • How can I delete a photo album from my IPad?

    How can I delete a photo album from my I Pad?

    You can turn off photo stream via Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream 'off' , I don't think that it is possible to remove individual photo stream photos. From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486 :
    Individual photos cannot be deleted from your Photo Stream. You can, however, delete all the photos in your Photo Stream by clicking the Reset Photo Stream button in your account at icloud.com. The Reset Photo Stream button will instantly delete all Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud, but it will not remove any Photo Stream photos that have already been pushed to your devices.
    After deleting the photos from your Photo Stream in iCloud, you can remove the Photo Stream photos from your devices as follows:
    On your iOS devices, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream and turn Photo Stream off. This will delete all the photos from your Photo Stream album. If there are any photos you want to keep on your device, make sure to add them to an album or save them to your Camera Roll first.

    Assuming you are using iTunes 11.1:
    Connect your iPhone to your computer.
    In iTunes towards the upper right of your screen you will see the name of your iPhone. Click on it (not the eject symbol.
    This will open a series of windows with tabs.
    Select the tab for photos.
    Untick the ones you do not want on your iPhone and at the bottom right click on Apply.
    They will be removed.

  • IPad: how to delete a photo album

    How do I delete a photo album from the iPad?
    I read somewhere that you should tap Edit and then tap the album. But that does not work. I have three albums, iPad will only let me delete the last one I created.

    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 icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view. 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
