I Deleting "photo library" pics?

Don't see a trash can/delete icon when I select pictures.  Need to make space on phone for system updates....anypne know how to rid the phone of these pictures?

Find the photos on your computer.  Either delete them there and then sync, or instruct iTunes on your computer not to sync those photos, then sync.

  • Deleting Photo Library Pics from iPhone 3g.

    I downloaded 6 pictures onto my iPhone through itunes and they were stored in the Photo Library on my phone. I want to get them off of my phone, so I looked at the other questions posted on here and they said to remove the pictures from the folder that itunes synched with. I did that and now itunes doesn't show that folder anymore as syncing to it, but the pictures are still on my phone. Can anyone help? Thanks!

    For some reason the folder re-appeared and I was able to move them to a new folder.

    How do I delete photo library on the iphone 5?  I have tried going to settings, general, usage, photos & camera, photo library, swipped it and hit delete but it does not delete the photos in photo library.

    You delete them the same way you put it on the phone, unsync it with itunes.  you can only delete pics from your camera roll.

    You can't delete the Photo Library. The iPhone stores photos the same way iPhoto does on a Mac. All photos are synced to your Photo Library. The various albums/folders merely contain pointers to the actual photos which are in your Photo Library, they are not duplicates.

  • Photo library pics have been duplicated

    Since my last update to iOS6.0  I'm having problem with pics in the Photo Library where all pictures have been duplicated
    and also most of the pics that wrere sitting in my Mamera Roll have been deleted!
    Any way to fix both problems? How can I get back the missing pics in My Camera Roll?
    Thanks for your help.

    Well....I was sure to get some help from the many geniouses of the board but....
    as DUMMY AS I AM, I managed to come up with the solution that I love to share with other
    people with same sort of inconvenience.
    I used iTunes, in Photos I went to SYNC, but I deleted the all photos (prompt by system) and after I rechecked the SYNC square and I upload the ALL FOLDERS including the new folder I had set up for testing.
    It DID WORK. So...if you have similar problem....find the solution weetwen yourself.
    I'm definately not a computer wizard...but with creativity I managed to solve this problem.
    PS - My post was up for 12 hrs and strangely NO ONE had some advice for me ?!
            I'm a bit disappointed ....but...happy for the found solution!!!!

  • IPad Photo library pics not on MAC

    At my wits end with this!  Photo library using 1.6GB of info on my Ipad.  Trying to delete pics from IPad but when I try to sync with ITunes to delete them - the pics don't show up as being on my IPad or in ITunes.  These pictures were all originally imported to my IPad from a camera.  They are safely tucked away on my computer in a separate folder in MY PICTURES so I no longer need them on my Ipad.  How do I get the darn things off my IPad to free up much needed space?  Thanks.

    Well like I said, the photos will not show up in iTunes because that's not how it works, but are the photos actually still on the iPad?
    Did you try using the second method that I described? Open the album and tap on the edit button, select the photos that you want to delete and then tap the red delete button?
    Have you considered importing the photos again and when given the option to delete the photos from the iPad, choose that option and delete them? I'm not sure how it works on a PC, but when you import photos on a Mac, you have the option to delete them from the device after importing them. You can always delete that new picture folder on the PC after you import them again.

  • IPhone Delete Photo Library Album

    Since my upgrade to iOS 5, there has been a new album in the photos app called Photo Library. This album is an exact copy of an album called "iPhone" that I created in iPhoto on my Mac. Any photos on my Mac that I want on the iPhone, I simply drag to the "iPhone" album and then sync with iTunes. If I turn sync photos OFF in iTunes, I get the warning that all synced photos will be lost on the iPhone, which I accept. After the sync, both the iPhone album AND the Photo Library album are gone from my iPhone. I then turn sync photos ON and sync. BOTH albums come back. I've copied the iPhone album to a new album, deleted iPhone album, re sync and both the new album AND the Photo Library album are back on the iPhone. If I add a photo to the new album on my iMac, then sync with iTunes, the new photo is added to both the new album AND the Photo Library Album. Should I export all my photos then create a new iPhoto library, import the photos back in?

    "On the iPhone, every time I take a new photo, the new photo is added to the camera roll, not the Photo Library album."
    That is correct.  Camera Roll is where ALL pics taken with iphone are stored.  You should be importing these to your computer regularly as you would with any other digital camera.  You can then organize on your computer and sync them to your iphone, where they will be in photo library.
    "The Photo Library album on the iPhone contains 17 photos which are the exact same as the new album (Rich) on my iPhone. During the sync process in iTunes, I check only the album Rich to sync."
    Absokutely correct.
    Again. All SYNCED ( from your computer) photos will be in photo library.  If you were to sync 10 albums with 10 pics each, then there would be 100 photos in Photo Library.

  • Can you help me delete photo library & duplicate photo library

    Hi,
    I don't know what I did, but I somehow copied 44 of my daughter's music images into my photo library and then created a duplicate with 43 images.  These 87 images are taking up room and there is no obvious way to delete them. 
    Here's what happens when I touch camera roll it brings me to the photo library -- where 43 out of 44 images are hers:
    I click edit and the only options are share via email, faceboook, twitter, etc. or add to which leads to create a new album.  I don't want to do any of this.  I just want to delete them to make room.
    The same options apply for the Duplicate album as well.
    Can you help me delete the photo library and the duplicate library on my phone?  I only want to keep one video in the camera roll and all of the rest of the images can go.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your response.  I think you just isolated my issue -- I was trying to upload music and somehow wound up syncing my daughter's photos to my iphone.  I don't know how to delete them because not all of the album/folders are appearing there.  Do you have any suggestions on how to find them?

  • Deleting Photo Library from iPhone 4 - Help!

    Help!  I can't figure out how to delete the Photo Library from my iPhone 4.  Here is what I did:
    I was using my sister's Mac and downloaded some photos she took from her iPhoto onto my iPhone 4.  Now I can see the photos on my phone in a new folder called "Photo Library."  But there isn't an option to delete the photos like there is with the Camera Roll folder.
    When I hook the phone up to my own Mac, the photos don't appear in iPhoto so I can't delete them there.
    When I hook the phone up to my PC, the PC doesn't seem to think the photos are there either.
    When I open the phone with iTunes, the Photo Library folder doesn't appear in the folder options so I can't "unsync" the folder.
    Yet they sure are taking up a lot of space on my phone!!!  I feel like they are permanently stuck on my phone now. My sister lives far away so I can't just plug my phone into her computer again. 
    Will restoring the phone finally get rid of the Photo Library?  I can do this as a last resort but only if I know it will fix the problem.  Thank you!

    Use iTunes.
    Under the Photos tab, choose Sync Photos from and then from the dropdown select choose folder...
    Create a new empty folder by selecting New folder and click Open
    Then Apply and Sync.
    That should do it. At least it did for me

  • How to delete "Photo Library"?

    How can I delete my "Photo Library" and pictures from my iPhone 3GS? I want to delete everything but the camera roll. I've hit "EDIT" but it won't let me delete anything but wallpapers.

    Photos synced to your phone can only be removed from your phone the same way they got there, through the iTunes sync process. Connect your phone, iTunes running, & under the photos tab remove the checks for all albums/folders you do not want on your phone. Hit the apply/sync button & they will be removed from your phone.

  • How do I delete photo library on my phone

    My memory is getting sucked up because of my photo library. And finally discovered where pictures went that I just took but not going into my camera roll. I saw a suggestion via Google and deleted my photo library AND everything else but the camera roll. I did back up everything before I did, too. But then I was blocked from adding any of my picture files until I allowed the photo library back onto my phone. And then it's back to sucking up my memory. I just got my 32GB iPhone 5 and cannot afford to get the 64GB one. But that would be wasted if all my pictures go into this sunflower box! And you cannot delete any picture, never mind the file. Please help! I don't have a lot of apps, but I've had to delete them to take a picture or shoot a short video. It's that bad!

    I went to second link. On my laptop, from sync photos from, my only choice is pictures. I do not have either of the folders the second link mentions. On my list on my laptop (Windows Vista), I was hoping Photo Stream was the same as the Photo Library as it has the same sunflower button. All this did was ADD photo stream onto my phone. But I was able to delete it. So I say again, I really want this tab/app off my phone and I cannot seem to be able to get it off of it.

  • Can't delete "Photo Library" from iPhone.  Please help

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm trying to delete the "photo library" off my iPhone (as well as all the sub folders it has created). I do not want to have all the images from iPhoto to be on my iPhone as well. When I plug-in my phone, I go to the photo tab in iTunes...un-click the "sync from iPhoto" option at the top...it then asks me if I'd like to remove all the images added via iPhoto to which I answer "remove" but then nothing happens. I've tried re-syncing it, re-starting it (phone, computer and itunes) but nothing happens. The phone is a 3G.
    Thank you very much for your help.

    OK I was able to figure it out. First, I had to check the "Sync Photos from iPhoto" box in the photos tab. Second; I had to check, "Selected albums, events and faces and automatically included" Third; I to select "NO EVENTS" from the drop down menu. By selecting *no events* I was able to remove all the photos I did not take with my iPhone.
    Hope this helps someone else too.
