How to delete "iCloud Photos" album?

I have an album on my iphone called "iCloud photos", which is different than the photostreaming album. I tried everything to delete that "iCloud Photos" album from my iPhone but I can't. Any suggestions?

This album may have synced to your iPad from your computer. Try connecting your device to iTunes on your computer, clicking on the Photos tab, and check to see if a folder named “iCloud Photos” is being synced to your device.
If so, you can uncheck this folder and re-sync to eliminate it.

  • 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

  • How to delete a photo album from iPhone using a new hard drive & a later version of iTunes

    I'm using the same computer but with a new hard drive and a later version of iTunes. I previously loaded a photo folder from my PC to my iPhone, but I inadvertently did it twice, giving each folder a different name -- "Photo Library," and "Widget Photo Folder." Of course, I also have the "Camera Roll" folder on my iPhone. I now want to delete either the "Photo Library" or the "Widget Photo Folder" from my iPhone. On iTunes in the Photo tab, I don't have the option of deselecting the folder in my PC that I previously synced. Apparently, iTunes recognizes that the privious sync was not done with the new hard drive? How, then, do I remove one of the photo folders from the iPhone?

    You CANNOT delete photo album.  ALL pics synced to iphone are oin photo library.  Those exact same photos, NOT duplicates, can be accessed from the individual albums.
    This is how Apple handles photos.
    Just as a song is in a playlist and in the library ( there is only one song, simply two ways to access it), photos are in the library and the same photos can be accessed from the album.

  • 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.

  • How can I remove my iCloud Photo Albums from my iPhone 6 storage, but still use the iCloud Photo Sharing?

    I put all my photos from my iPod Touch 4 and my iPhone 4S in iCloud Photo Albums and Labeled them so that when I got the new iPhone 6 on iOS 8.1.2 I could have my previous photos on there for future use. Now I look on my iTunes app on my computer it shows that my storage on my iPhone 6 is almost full. Those Photos in iCloud are taking up all my storage on my iPhone. I know how to add more storage on my iCloud account, I just want to know Is there a way where my iCloud Photo Albums can still be in my iCloud Account, just not taking up all my storage on my iPhone.

    Hello mushysun,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    If you did not sign out of your Apple ID on your iPhone before creating a new one, then you will need to sign back in with your previous Apple ID and then sign out.  If you do not remember your password and do not have access to the email account, then you can reset your password by using the security questions.
    If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
    Have a great weekend,

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.

  • I should have said in my previous message that the iphoto program I am using is for an ipad 2.  I simply want to know how to delete an edited album which contains one photo that I do not want taking up space.

    I should have said in my previous message that the iphoto program I am using is for an ipad 2.  I simply want to know how to delete an edited album which contains one photo that I do not want taking up space.

    OK....I'm stumped.  The message you are seeing is typically there to protect someone from syncing with a different computer/iTunes account.  Is there any way anyone else has used your iPad and possibly connected it to their computer?

  • How to delete a photo or a full album on my iPad ?

    How to delete a photos or a full album on my I pad ?

    If the photos are on the iPad from a sync with iTunes - from a folder on your computer - you have to sync again to remove them.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes. Select your iPad on the left side under "devices". Click on the Photos tab in iTunes. Deselect all of the albums that you want to remove and click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
    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.
