I deleted photos from my iPhone but still see them in Image Capture app

I am running iOS 8 and I have a problem with my photo library. I deleted all the photos form my phone, and went into "recently deleted" and made sure I permanently deleted them, however when I plug my phone into my Mac and look in image capture, I still see over 400 photos in there. Does anybody know if there's any way to figure out where these photos reside on my iPhone? They aren't viewable through the photos app and seem to be taking up space but are not usable.
I currently have all iCloud photo related functions turned off.

Hello J-a-x,
It sounds like you are seeing photos in Image Capture that you have removed from the Photos app by deleting them from the Recently Deleted album. It seems to me that the Photos app is going to be the linchpin here so thats where I would troubleshoot. Start by closing all the apps that are running on the phone:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the iPhone:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
Then see if the photos are showing anywhere in the Photos app. If so delete them once more, in the same way you had before, also removing them from Recently Deleted and see if Image Capture is detecting them or not. 
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

  • Is it possible to delete photos from an iPhone but still keep them on iCloud?

    I currently have a lot of photos on my iPhone(5c) and I need to have more storage. If I delete directly from my phone will they still be available on iCloud?

    before i was using my photo stream and i could access the photos from all the devices but since the last update I only have one album "all photos" and every time i try to delete a photos it says that it will be deleted from iCloud as well. I also tried importing them on my macbook but i can only import 600 photos and on my iPhone there are over 2000 photos.

  • With iOS 8, how do I delete photos from my phone BUT still have them in my iCloud and view them from my phone?

    Hello all!
    Before iOS 8, we had two separate photo albums - Photo Stream (for iCloud) and Camera Roll (for photos on your iPhone).
    When you took a photo, the photo went into both albums. This was handy, as when i found my memory running low, I could delete photos from my Camera Roll, yet they will still be on my Photo Stream.
    However, with the iOS 8 update, apparently they thought this was too confusing for everyone and therefore have merged it all into the collections/moments photo viewer.
    So, my question is, is there a way that I can delete photos from my phone without deleting them from my iCloud, seeing as they are merged into one?
    Thanks!

    The easiest way I find to remove a few songs for the nano is to go into Ipod preferences and select "only sync checked songs" and the uncheck songs you don't want. You could only sync certain playlists but that takes some work setting up. http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt2.html
    Or you could just use manual sync which is more of a pain to be able to control everything that goes on or off your ipod http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/tutorial/ipgettingstartedt3.html

  • HT5043 So I was a little skeptical about deleting photos from my iPhone but I did. Shouldn't I be able to access them on iCloud? Because I can't find a way to view all my old photos that were backed up before I deleted them.

    No you can not access yoru photos on iCloud
    PhotoStream is a way to share photos between devices - it is not a way to backup photos or to view photos

  • How can I delete photos from my iPhone but keep them in iCloud?  I.e. I want more than just a backup of what's on my phone, I want selective storage of my photos.  Can iCloud do that?

    Hi,
    Can I use iCloud as photo storage rather than just backup?  Right now, it just syncs the photos from my iPhone.  I want to delete some photos from my phone, but keep them in the cloud. 
    I also want to be able to adjust the settings of certain folders in iPhoto to do different things. 
    I.e. I have a "work" folder in my photos app on my iphone.  I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in dropbox and be erased from my iPhone. 
    I have a "family" folder in my photos app on my iPhone.  I want all the photos and videos in this folder to be stored in iCloud and erased from my iPhone.
    Finally, why can't I log into iCloud from anywhere and see my photos?  For example, when I go to my friend's house, I want to be able to log into iCloud from his computer and show him photos that are no longer saved on my phone, but rather stored in the cloud. 
    Would I be better off with dropbox, flickr, or Amazon for something like that?
    Thanks!
    Amy

    If you have the photos on your computer a great way to test is to remove your phone from your computer and see if the photos are still on it; if they are still on your computer you are free to do so
    Also when you are importing photos from the device to iPhoto you should get the option to delete after importing

  • Lr not importing all photos from external HD, but can see them in Bridge

    Just signed up to Lr & Ps on CC.  I imported my photos into Lr from an external HD (my backup) but not all the photos showed up in Lr.  However, I can access them in Bridge and open them in Ps.  Whats wrong?

    Hi, thanks for your help. Im really stumped. Yes all the file handling and destination folders are showing. I am using lightroom 4.4, its updated. i used it a few days ago with no problem. Basically i do my usually and upload and click import. During import, the white bar goes very fats and no imported preview images pop up. And it almost freezes like- saying copy and import photos in the upper left corner. On the main screen it just continues to say importing files. I have tried several cards and two different usb cords. Nothing so far and I have been trying for the last three hours, while reading forums.
    thanks again for your help!!

  • HT201302 how do i delete photos from my iphone?

    i would like to delete photos from my iphone but i can't seem to see an option to do this.

    Hello johngalls,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you'd like to delete pictures from the Photos app on your iPhone, and you're using iOS 8, use these steps from the iPhone User Guide:
    Organize photos and videos - iPhone
    Manage albums. While viewing your album list, tap Edit.
    Delete an album:  Tap .
    Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video
    All the best,

  • I still don't totally understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon).  I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4.

    I  don’t  understand the difference on my iPhone between PhotoStream (with iCloud icon), Photos (the icon) and Albums and Camera Roll (under Photos icon) and and Camera Roll (under Camera icon).  They seem to be more or less the same thing, but deleting photos in one place does not delete them elsewhere.
    When I tried to import from my camera to my iMac computer the computer would not recognized 900 of the 920 photos on the camera so I had to (successfully) use the Image Capture application to import them.
    I want to delete photos from my iPhone 4 in order to free up storage (I only have 8GB.)  But in synching I do not want to delete any images from my iPhoto on my computer.
    Is there a way that I can Delete All under Edit in either Photos or Camera on my iPhone and check about 20 ijmages to remain on the iPhone?  I could find no command to Select All and then uncheck the 20 photos I want to keep.
    I have the 8GB iPhone and the iMac with OS 10.9.2 and iPhoto '09 Version 8.1.2.
    Help!

    I have Version 6.1.3 because the clogged storage will not allow me to upload Version 7.1.  Catch 22.  This is basically a storage issue, I believe.  I cannot delete enough stuff on my iPhone to allow me to either back up or upload the new OS 7.  I am unwilling to pay for more storage in iCloud, so I want to delete stuff I don't need.  But I haven't yet figured out how to successfully do that.  I synch my phone and computer.  I want to delete mail on the Mail app and photos and still keep my photos on my computer on iPhoto, but not on my phone.  I seem unable to do that.  Any advice?

  • I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

    I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

    Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes.  You have two options.
    1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes.  You can get itunes at www.itunes.com  Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder.  This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
    2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos.  If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.  How to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • I have deleted photos from iPhoto trash but apparently still have 82GB of photos which I cannot see or delete - any help would be much appreciated

    I have deleted photos from iPhoto trash but apparently still have 82GB of photos which I cannot see or delete - any help would be much appreciated

    check the overall trash on the 'dock'.when files are deleted from programmes, they always go to the general 'Trash'  as general files and you will need to delete form there as well. if there is still a lot of missing files taking up space try reloading or deleting 'Iphoto' and uploading again.

  • How do i delete photos from my iPhone 4S with ios7?

    How do i delete photos from my iPhone 4S with ios7?

    I have seen an solution:
    1. When in the iOS 7 Photo app you tap Photo button in the bottom toolbar.
    2. Then you tap Select in the top right Navbar
    3. Then find a photo which is NOT in the Photo-stream and NOT in the Camera Roll. I have a bunch of these for some reason after updating to iOS 7. These photos will get a checkmark, but will not turn the trash can blue.
    4. You can then select a photo that IS IN Photo-stream. It will also get a checkmark and the counter will display (2), and the trash can will turn Blue.
    5. You can then tap the blue trash can. The Photo-stream selected photo gets deleted BUT the photo the selected photo that is NOT in Photo-stream and NOT in camera roll IS Still There!

  • HT4528 how can you recover deleted photos from the iPhone hard drive?

    Is there anyway possible i can recover my deleted photos from my iphone hard drive for free?

    You can't for two reasons: First, the iPhone doesn't have a hard drive. Second, there is no Trash folder, so once something is deleted it is gone forever. If you were foresighted enough to sync your phone regularly the photos should still be in the app you used for managing photos from digital cameras on your computer, and they are also in the iPhone backup on your computer. If you enabled Photo Stream they are also in iCloud. But if you didn't take advantage of any of these backup options you are out of luck.

  • How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!

    How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!
    I have tried many online programs but nothing seems to recover the last 60 photos i accidentally deleted.

    i have i cloud but because my phone memory had been so full lately i believe it wasnt being backed up?
    the last back up noted on my phone is 9 nov 2013 - i deleted the photos just on monday - does this mean i can still recover them somehow?
    they were never imported to a comp but yes the pics were saved on my photo stream buti acutally first deleted off photo stream. what i did was create a folder within my albums then added the 60 photos to the album, then deleted 1 off photo stream to test and it didnt delete from my new folder, then deleted all off photo stream and then i thought i could delete off camera roll, then did that and realised it also deleted off my new folder created - so was left with nothing!
    if you know anyway pls help?

  • How do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone

    how do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone?

    The iPhone Photo Recovery allows you to recover data by two ways: Recover from iOS devices and recover from iTunes backup. No matter which way you choose, the first step is to download and install the software on your computer. Then follow the way below to get back your data.
    Part 1: Directly recover photo from iPhone 5/4S, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, The New iPad, iPad 2 & iPod touch 5
    article: How to recover deleted photos from iPhone.
    Part 2: Recover Data Directly from iPhone 4/3GS, iPad 1 & iPod touch 4
    Part 3: Extract iTunes Backup to Recover Previous Data for All iOS Devices
    This data recovery mode lets you recover not only existing data in the backup, but also those data deleted from your device before you made the backup, as long as they were not overwritten.
    Note: Don't sync your device with iTunes when you realize that you've lost data, or the iTunes backup file will be updated after the sync, if you want to recover them through this recovery mode.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.
