How to remove photo album from IPhone 5

I copied a photo album from my PC to my IPhone (for a slideshow at a funeral).  The photos did not originate on the IPhone.  Now I want to remove this photo album, but there does not seem to be any way to do so.  The Iphone does not appear to allow for removal, and the album does not appear in ITunes on my PC.
The Settings>General>Usage tab allows me to delete all of my music, thus allowing me to reinstall what I want, but this feature isn't available for photos.
Any ideas?  Thanks.

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.

    As soon as you sync your phone to a different computer & put a check in the box to sync photos under the photos tap in iTunes, then hit the apply/sync button, all of these photos will be erased from your phone.

  • Removing photo albums from iPhone & iPad

    I Have several photo albums on my iPhone and iPad that I want to delete, but when viewing photo albums and click on "edit", there's no option to remove anything.  I've logged into my cloud account to remove them, but there's nothing referring to photos.

    How did those photo albums get on the iPad in the first place? If they were copied to the iPad by syncing with your computer you need to do another sync to delete them. Start iTunes on your computer and connect your iPad. Select your ad in iTunes and then click on the  photos tab In iTunes. Deselect the albums you want to delete then click on apply or sync.

  • How do i remove photo albums from Iphone that appear when syncing which I cannot prevent

    Iphone 4.  just synced with laptop and to my horror now have every photo from laptop in albums on my phone which i cannot remove.  Have gone back into sync mode and it wont let me access the albums on phone to delete.  Such ridiculous situation not to be able to delete by choice on phone.  Sync only repeats the process.  Not a happy iphone user.  Can anyone help and suggest a simple way to remove the albums.  Also what to do when syncing to avoid happening again. When syncing,  I dont seem to be able to access my iphone or chose what sync processes i want as the sync only happens as one process including the photos.  Is this a fault??  Cannot believe Apple would make this such a difficult process.  Help appreciated.

    Thanks but it wont let me choose and once the albums on iphone it wont let me remove..... any more thoughts??

  • Having trouble removing photo albums from iPhone 4S

    I have several photo albums on my iPhone that I would like to remove, they were created after i downloaded pics from emails, the pics do not have a trash can icon for convenient deletion, I cannot see these albums on my pc when i try to access the files in regular folders (which would be nice and convenient) and I cannot access these albums in anyway through iTunes (as far as I can tell), what can I do to remove these albums I wonder?

    If you created the albums in the Photos app, then, in Album view, touch the Edit button. Any Album that you can delete will then have an "X" in the upper left corner of its album icon. Touch the "X" to delete that album.
    Other albums that were created by syncing with a PC can only be deleted by syncing with iTunes on that PC with the album unselected.

  • How to remove songs/albums from Iphone 5 S and itunes library inorder to add new songs

    I have an Iphone 5, 7.1.2 model.  I have been attempting to add new songs onto my phone but do not have any available space.  Although I have deleted and removed apps and other space eating products from my phone, I still do not have enough space to add the new songs that I would like to include on my phone.  The final option would be for me to remove some songs from my phone that I no longer listen to.  Problem is, I can't seem to find a way or any direction on just how to do that.  Wonder if anyone has successfully removed songs from their phone and/or library as a way to free up space to replace them with new songs?

  • How to remove an album from iPhone 5?

    When i first received my iPhone 5 I added an album of pictures from my pc onto my phone, I no longer want this album on my phone but i cant erase it from the device itself and I do not have the original pc anymore. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to get this album off my phone without me having to restore my phone.... restoring is not an option right now because i have nothing backed up.

    open the photos app.
    click on the "album" icon at the bottom.
    click "edit" in the upper right corner.
    click the red "negative" button to the left of the album you want to delete.
    click the "delete" button.
    this will not delete all of the pictures from the phone, but it will delete the album.
    if you want to delete all of the pictures, you have to click on each individual picture in the camera roll and trash each one.

  • How do I delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    What is the easiest way to delete an entire photo album from iPhone 6

    Depends on the album and how it got there.
    If it is an album that you sync'd to the device, you would remove it the same way - by hooking up the device to sync, de-selecting the album in the Photos profile screen, and then syncing the device
    If it is an album you created, you would need to manually delete the album itself by clicking on Edit from the main display and then clicking on the minus sign to delete the album. This does not delete the photos in the album, however. If you want the photos deleted, you have to select them and then delete them manually.
    Camera Roll photos will ask if you want to delete them when you import the Camera Roll to a computer.
    Photo Stream photos are either deleted manually, or you can turn off Photo Stream altogether to remove Photo Stream from your device.

  • How do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    how do i delete photo albums from iPhone 5

    Are you asking about albums created in the "Photos.app" ?
    In the Photos app, click edit, then click the red minus icon that appears.
    For albums you created on your computer and synced to your device using iTunes:
    These albums can only be deleted by syncing again with your computer and deselecting the album when syncing.
    All other albums in iPhoto are created automatic as need be (Edited, Flagged, Favorites, Custom (tags), iTunes, Beamed, Photo Box); these albums will be deleted, when the photos inside are no longer present - the edits and tags removed.

  • I cannot remove photo albums from my iPhone. The tutorial shows a removal button, but there is none, can someone help me?

    I want to remove photo albums from my iphone, since they are eating up my storage capacity. The tutorial says I should be able to 'change' and then select 'remove' , but there is no such thing as a remove button... Can anyone help me?

    How did the photos/albums get onto the phone ?
    Only photos taken with the iPhone or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the phone - either via the trashcan icon at the bottom right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it top right in thumbnail view. Albums that you've created directly on the phone can be deleted via the Edit button at the top right of the album selection screen.
    Photos/albums 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 do you remove photo albums from Iphone4?

    I have been trying to remove photo albums from my Iphone4 which have been synced from my PC. Is there any way of doing this without taking the phone to the staff at the Apple Store?

    Connect the phone, click on the Photos tab and uncheck the albums you want to remove. Then sync.
    BTW, the staff at the Apple store won't be able to do it unless you take your computer to them.
