How to delete a photo folder not created on iphone

I have a folder that was from my wifes old phone that we transfered over.
It is in a folder but We want to remove it now. Is there a way to do so?
It does not show in Windows when navigated to it also does not show in iTunes.
Help please.
Thanks,
Rob

If the device has not been jailbroken, the only method you can use to get photos except in the Camera Roll is via iTunes. Do you sync photos to the device via iTunes? As I said earlier, you can either check to see if it is checked in iTunes, or you can turn off photo syncing which should remove all photos from the iPhone except for the ones in the Camera Roll. Then you can sync back photos you want to sync the second time around.

Log in to icloud.com with your Apple ID. Once you're logged in, click on your name on the upper right corner. Click Advanced and then Reset Photo Stream. This will delete all your photos in the album Photo Stream in your iPhone 4S so make sure you have backed up (copy to Camera Roll or new folder) all those that you want to keep.
This is the only way to do it with iOS 5 (not the beta releases)

How to delete transferred photos in iphone 5s

I have transferred photos from my acer laptop to my iphone 5S using itunes. Now, tell me how to delete some photos out of them in iphone 5S

Assuming you transferred them by syncing via iTunes, you delete by syncing again but with a different selection of which photos to sync. Each time you sync using iTunes, the non-Camera Roll photos on the phone are set to match the current iTunes photo page settings.

If they were synced to your phone, they can only be removed by syncing them off with iTunes. Create an empty folder on the computer you normally sync your phone with. Then connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to the photos tab and select to sync the empty folder you created earler. Then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone. This will remove any photos on your phone that were synced to it from a computer.

How to delete the photos in network folder while deleting photos in iPhoto?

Hi,
How to delete the photos in network folder while deleting photos in iPhoto?
I have emptied the iPhoto Trash but the photos in network folder are still not deleted.
In iPhoto Preferences, Advance, Importing, I have UNCHECKED "Copy Items to iPhoto Library."

Please help. Thanks.

iPhoto is a relational database management program and manages only items that it controls - items within its library - it does not and will not do anything with any photo that is not in the library except to delete photos from cameras after import - and this is not recommended
You are running a referenced library and it is not recommended - it makes deleting photos more difficult as you are seeing, it makes importing photos more difficult and it makes replacing or upgrading hardware much more difficult

How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

Hey Ravengirlaa,
Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

How to delete a photo from My Panoramas album

I just upgraded my iPad2 to iOS7. Seems like in the process the iOS7 created a new album for me: My Panoramas. Cute, but I don't want that album. If I have to have it, I would like to delete some of the photos in it that are not panoramas. When I select a photo in that album, a garbage can shows up but is grayed out. It's not obvious for me how to delete that photo. Please help.
BTW: That album (My Panoramas) does not show up in my iPhoto on my Mac, so I can't edit it there.

I'm with you on this. Rather like Windows 7, I am able to ignore the Panoramas Album but iPhoto puts my photos in that album for reasons unknown to me. And, as you say, the offending album doesn't appear on my MacBook Pro so I can't edit there.
Anyone know by what criteria iPhoto puts photos into the Panoramas album?
thanks.

How to delete a photo from "Photo Library"?

How to delete a photo from "Photo Library"?

"Photo Library" is a place where you can access all photos synced to your iphone. They are not duplicate photos. It is simply another place form which to access the smae photos that are in your folders/albums
Just as a book is in the public library and in the fiction section, your pics are in the Photo Library and in your folder. There is only one pic, simply two places from which to access the same pic.
If you want to delete pics synced to you iphone, then deselect them in itunes and sync.

How to Delete Entire Photo Stream in iOS 6

Here's how to delete and reset the entire Photo Stream in iOS 6.
WARNING: This will delete all 1000 photos in your Stream so make sure you're ready to do this (by backing them up).
Delete the Photo Stream
Note: You cannot have your device hooked up to a PC or Mac during this procedure.
In Settings, select "Photos & Camera" (in the left column on iPad).
(On the right in iPad) move the slider for "My Photo Stream" to Off.
It will ask you if you want to keep or delete your photos. Choose Delete.
If you're doing this on multiple devices, make sure to complete these three steps on each device before continuing.
You have successfully turned off and deleted the Photo Stream, but you're not done. Now you need to reset the Photos app so that it won't re-download the photos from iCloud if you choose to turn Photo Stream back on.
Reset Photos App
Launch the multi-tasking App Tray. On most devices, press the home button twice.
Remove the Photos app from the App Tray, by holding down the Photos icon until the red X appears on the icon.
Press the red X. The icon will disappear from the App Tray.
You're done! Now, you may launch the Photos app from the home screen if you wish.
Turn Photo Stream Back On (Optional)
If you want to use the Photo Stream feature for future photos, you may turn the Photo Stream feature back on.
In Settings, select "Photos & Camera" (in the left column on iPad).
(On the right in iPad) move the slider for "My Photo Stream" to On.

I haven't done it in a while but you may want to connect the phone to your Mac and open Image Capture on the Mac. I don't remember that it allows deleting by folder but if not it still would be faster than doing it one by one on the phone. The delete icon is at the lower left (red circle with line through it).

How to delete a photo from Device-Work/photos

How to delete a photo from Device-Work/photosI saved a photo from my work email account (it's a picture of a golf green) and afterward, I noticed that I can't really do anything with it.
How do you delete files from the "work" side of the phone?
Also curious why these files are even there if you can't do anything with them...what's the point?

i didnt even know there was a work side to the phone.
its my personel phone but i use it for work as well but dont have a work email set up as its the national health nhs.net and there is so much protection that i couldnt be bothered with it.
only way i think you could get round this problem is sending the email with the attachment to one of your personel emails like yahoo which if you have that set up on your phone and save the attached picture it will automatically be saved in your pictures folder.

If the photos are in the Camera Roll or Saved Album on your iPad - you can select the photo and then tap the Trash Can icon at the top right corner of the Photos app. In thumbnail view - you can tap the arrow icon in the upper right corner - tap on each photo that you want to remove and then tap Delete in the upper left corner.

How to delete ALL PHOTOS AT ONCE ?

So, how to delete all photos from iphone 5 with one touch ? Its frustrating to delete pic by pic when you got over 2000 pictures ! And its not enough to go to "moments" and day by day deleting those pics...
My old Nokia 2110 has that luxury feature "select all" and then "delete selected". This is ridiculous from 1000€ device... Not to mention I have new iMac also and I still not can delete all photos at once.
Help please !

If iCloud Photo Library is enabled:
There is currently no way to delete all photos at once.
If iCloud Photo Library is disabled:
Plug your device into a computer and open your photo import application and it'll allow you to remove all photos.
