How to delete inaccessible Photo Library from iPad

Greyed-out Photo Library is taking up 9Gb of storage On my iPad. How do I remove it?

The creation of the new iPod Photo Cache folder is normal and expected behavior. Read this for more information.

For for the photos that will not disappear, try this.
Delete all of your Recently Deleted photos from your Recently Deleted folder
Then go to Settings>General>Date & Time, and change the date back to any time more than 6 months ago. Then go back to the Recently Deleted folder. Tap on the Recently Deleted Album and you should see a bunch of photos that you already deleted. Delete them again, go back to Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On.

  • I need to know how to delete the photo library from my phone?

    My phone has way too much on it and I realized the photo library is the issue and not sure how to delete it.

    The same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Under the photos tab, in iTunes, deselect the albums/folders you don't want on your phone, hit the Apply/Sync button.

    If you have copied them to your computer, then you will be OK.  Just deselect the photos when you sync.

  • How do i delete my photo library from my iphone 4?

    My computer downloaded my entire photo library to my iPhone 4s & I'm almost out of storage space.  As far as I can tell, there is no way to delete the photo library from the phone itself; I have tried.
    I have gone into iTunes library to delete it from there, but I don't have a "photo" option.  I clicked on all of the other choices on the tab in the upper left-hand corner: Music, Movies, TV Shows, Books, Apps, & Tones.  None of these options have anything related to photos or photo libraries.
    I have cleared my "My Pictures" folder on my PC and re-synched the phone; that didn't work either.  I've gone through everything under the "Settings" tab on the phone itself, but to no avail.
    I'm almost to the point where I just want to take my phone to the wireless provider and have them wipe everything out and reset the phone back to its original settings, but I'm thinking there's GOT to be an easier way to solve this problem.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!  Thanks in advance...

    Yes there is and if you are unable to via the iTunes sync process, there is a problem.

    Photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process are not stored in your iTunes library. iTunes serves as the transfer conduit only between the location on your computer's hard drive where the selected photos are stored and your iPhone.
    This is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes. If all photos that were transferred from your computer to your iPhone are not removed from the iPhone after deselecting Sync Photos under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, try creating a new folder on your computer's hard drive that will remain empty. Select this empty folder under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes instead of your My Pictures folder followed by a sync.

    You don't need to take the iPhone anywhere to do this ends up being needed. You can erase all data and settings direct on the iPhone at Settings > General > Reset which will erase everything but the iOS version installed and the included apps, or you can restore the iPhone with iTunes on your computer as a new iPhone or not from the backup.

    Removing the tick from the box named Sync Photos would not remove any of your music. You must have done something else if half your music was removed from the iPod.

    can yo delete other libraries unable to delete?
    I assume you mean "can you delete films/movies or Podcasts etc. from your iTunes Library". Yes, you can delete anything from your iTunes Library by using the conventional delete method or you can delete (or remove) any of the songs, films, Podcasts etc. from the iPod. Usually this is done by un-ticking the song, film etc in iTunes and then Syncing the iPod to iTunes. That will remove the song form the iPod but leave it in iTunes unless you specifically delete it form iTunes .

  • How do I delete a photo library from my iPhone

    I have 2 phot libraries that are exactly the same. I want to delete one of them. I resynced but there still 2. Photo Library and iPod Photo Cache. I am only syncing iPod Photo Cache. I resynced my iPad and the extra (duplicate) went away. Not true with my iPhone. Any ideas?

    LOL.. I think the question just morphed again.

    You can't sync your albums from an iPhone to iTunes/computer - the sync is always the other way.
    If you need to move album photos from an iPhone to a computer then you need to look at some apps to do that.
    An example might be Phototransfer - there will be others through a Google search

  • How to delete RAW photo's from my DSLR imported to my iPad

    I have previously connected my Canon DSLR to my iPad and when importing the files had the Camera Raw (.CR2) files copied over too.  I needed that to happen when I was a way from home, but now I am back I need to Erase them from my iPad.  I previously had a Windows laptop but now have a iMac.  The iPad does not show up as a drive to search and find these to Delete them on my iMac?

    Hi, SnappyChappy.
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Here are the steps that will walk you through the process of importing your photos and videos taken via a camera and imported via the iPad Camera Connection Kit.  Once these are imported, you will have the option to delete the photos from your iPad.

  • How to manage my photo library on iPad

    Hi, I've been traveling and now i have a few GB's of photos to select. It would be easier for me to import and select these photos on my iPad
    and then an then export them to my library. My photo library its stored on a PC.
    I've been testing the best way to it but i'm in a dead end. Already tried with Google drive but i'm not able to work offline.
    Do you have any sugestion
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks for your reply Japib. This is exactly what i've been triying to do last days . But imagine, if I sync all these photos to iPad i will not be able to delete those from the default album. In order to be able to delete them on iPad e need to copy them to a new album. Then when I sync againg my expectation is that this new album gets sync to iTunes... but it's not

  • 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 to delete the photo library

    i did a sync on my computer to back up my photos for the first time... my camera roll says i have 1000 pictures and the computer said i had 2000+... are duplicates stored somplace... are pics thats deleted from the camera roll still stored somewhere?  how do you delete the duplicates?

    Photos in the camera roll can be imported to the computer, not synced. There is a difference. Photos that are synced, are synced from the computer onto the phone. These are the pictures that you see in the Photo Library. Photos in the camera roll do not appear in the Photo Library.
    If you have deleted photos from the Camera Roll, they are gone. If you do not want to sync photos to the phone from the computer, you do this via iTunes. Go to the Photos tab with the phone connected to the computer, remove the checkmark to sync, and sync again. This will remove the photos.

  • Is there a way to delete a photo library from the phone?

    Is there a way to delete photos from the photo library so I can have more space on my phone. I have already copied the pictures to my computer, but now I want to get rid of the pictures all together on my phone. Is it possible? Please help!!!!

    Yes, you are able to remove a photo library in your albums. what you have to do is unsync the album from your phone in iTunes. Find your device in iTunes, then select the photos tab at the top of the page, uncheck the box that says sync photos, the click on apply at the bottom of the page, let it sync and then all that photo album will be removed off your phone.

  • How do I share the Photo Library on my desktop with another User. I have Apoerture set up on my wife's user account but cannot figure out how to access the photo library from her desktop.

    I just got a new IMac. I transferred all the photos from our old PC to the Aperture Library on my User account. My wife is set up as another User. She can access Aperture from her User account but there are no photos in the Library. How can I share or giver her access to the photos so that she can work with them on Aperture from her User account?

    Move the Aperture library to separate disk or disk partition with plenty of space for all your photos. On a separate disk or partition it will be possible to set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag. Then two users can write to the same Aperture library without permission problems.
    The procedure is describe here for iPhoto libraries, but this will work for Aperture libraries as well:
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    If you want to use a drive for your Aperture library, that has been used with a PC, format it for Mac, before you move the Aperture library there. This can be done with Disk Utility.
