I need to delete 6419 photos from my iphone 4s library and im finding it impossible. I am a technophobe so please keep it VERY VERY simple.
I have almost no memory left because my iphone transfered all of my photos from my laptop to the photo library and now i cannot remove them.
there are 6,419 photos to be removed to be exact and its driving me nuts.
I am literally a complete technophobe so if anyone would be so kind as to explain to me in a language even your grandmother would understand, i would be very greatful.
Thanks so much

Thank you for your reply. i don't seem to have any tab for photos on my itunes thats the problem.
The Photos tab will only appear when the iPod/iPhone is connected. Click on iPod/iPhone (which also only appears when the ipod is connected) - not the eject arrow:
and "on this iPhone" (see in my screenshot, it says "on this iPod" on the right side). Then click on Photos (that I've highlighted) and this pane appears...
...choose the folder you want or turn off the Sync Photos option.

You do not view the photos in iTunes. You simply tell iTunes which folder of photos to put on the iPod. So this just takes them off again.

A friend of mine was recently in an accident and we need to delete some photos from her iPhone's "Photo Stream From my Computer" album, but cannot figure out a way to do it (there's no delete button). Help?
Sounds like it was synced from her computer using iTunes. Connect the phone to her computer, open iTunes, click on the name of her phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab and see if this folder is checked. If so, unchecking it and syncing will remove them all, or deleting/moving the photos from the folder on her computer and syncing will remove the deleted/moved photos.

Ι copied some photos from the main album to a new album. And I need to delete these photos from the main album so as to have them only to the new album. When I select the photos and choose delete I get the answer DELETE EVERYWHERE. I don't have the choice to delete it only from the main album.
You mean you copied photos from your camera roll to a new album, correct? Well, that's the way it works. The photos wern't actually copied to your new album, just pointers to the actual photos, which are still in your camera roll. So, yes, if you delete from your camera roll, you remove them from your phone.

I have an iphone 5S, using version 7.0.4. I had a TON of photos on my camera roll which was taking up space so this evening I synced and chose to import all 600 photos into iphoto (version 9.5.1). It took a while to import all the photos as expected and seemed to be slowing counting down during the import. At the end it told me all the photos had been sucessfully imported, showed thumbnails (or similar) on a roll of them all and asked if I wanted to delete the photos from my iphone. As I was doing this due to a space issue I of course said yes. The annoying thing is that before choosing to delete I clicked on a random photo to import it just to check it was infact already imported. I had the message box telling me it had been imported and did I want a duplicate, apply to all duplicates etc. So I thought it safe to delete off my phone.
Once they were deleted, I now can't find them ANYWHERE on my iphoto. Please someone help me, surely they are somewhere? I really hope so, i have some precious photos special once in a lifetime events with my children. Grateful for any help!It should. So they aren't shown in the Last Import smart album, right? Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.

I deleted the photos from my iPhone 6 that were synced from my computer automatically but it is still using my storage. How do i fix that? I have tried all of the steps listed in the community.i have the new iTunes 10.
Hi QuisB123,
If you are having an issue with reclaiming free space after deleting photos from your iPhone, use the steps in this article to assist -
If you get a "Not enough free space" alert on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Specifically -
Orphaned files might remain on your iOS device if it's physically disconnected while syncing music, podcasts, videos, or photos. This can prevent iTunes from syncing the iOS device on subsequent sync sessions. When this happens, you might see a large amount of "Other" disk usage for the iOS device in the Capacity indicator in iTunes. Try these steps:
Turn off the music or photo sync option in iTunes for the device.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Turn the music and photo sync options for the device on again.
Click Apply again to try to sync the device to iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 5.
Turn off the automatic syncing functions for the iOS device:
Select the iOS device from the iTunes window and click the Summary tab.
Deselect "Automatically sync when this device is connected" and select the "Sync only checked songs and videos" checkbox.
Click Apply to sync the changes to the device.
Reduce the amount of data that is being synced to the device and resync the device. For example, if syncing your Music library exceeds the memory capacity of the device, choose "Selected playlists" to transfer rather than "All songs and playlists" under the Music tab in iTunes. If you see the "Not enough free space" alert, continue to step 6.
Restore using iTunes.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Brett L -
I have deleted all photos from my iphone and the usage is still showing 6.6GB used. I have connected via my computer and no pictures are shown. I have also gone into all my photo apps and no photos are saved. How do I resolved this?
If you deleted photos from the Camra Roll of the photos app they are not deleted immediately. Instead they are moved to the Recently Deleted album where they will remain for 30 days. This feature was added because so many people deleted photos then wanted then back.
To completely delete those photos quickly go to the Recently Deleted album and delete them from there. -
HT201077 when you delete a photo from your iphone does it delete it from icloud back up also
When you delete a photo from your iphone does it delete it from the icloud backup?
No, however your next backup will not contain the photo as it is no longer on your phone (and iCloud only saves approx. 3 older backups so the one containing the photo will eventually no longer be available). Also, a word of caution...it seems like many users end up losing some or all of their photos when restoring to their iCloud backup. To be safe, don't rely on the backup but instead import your photos (and videos) to your computer, as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.

Events do not appear in the photos from my iPhone only albums and location.
Events do not appear in the photos from my iPhone only albums and location. Would you helpe me?
If you are seeing your photos in "Last Import", the photos are somewhere in your library. Perhaps the dates are wrong, and you do not see the photos arranged by date, where you expect them to be.
Select one of the photos on "Last Import", then ctrl-click it and select "Show in Event". That will take you to the event in event view. -
I imported my photos from iPhoto to the library and now I can not find them, what I can do to to get them back?

Does deleting a photo from my iPhone also delete it from my iPhoto Library?
I need to make room on my iPhone and so need to delete some pictures from it. However, I have not yet manually downloaded all the pictures from my iPhone onto my iPhoto library but hope that they are their via Photostream. Will deleting a photo from my phone also delete it from iPhoto?
iPhoto is self contained by default and once a photo is in an event making changes outside of iphoto has no effect
MyPhotoStream is a cloud based sharing (which can be set in the iPhoto preferences to automatically import from MPS into iPhoto) and changes from any device affect all other devices view of MPS - it does not affect photos that y=have been moved form M{PS to local storage - like importing to iPhoto does

Why can't I delete synced photos from my iPhone?
Early iPhones did not have especially good cameras, so this was not an issue. However, starting with the iPhone 4s, it became clear that iPhones would begin to replace standard point-and-shoot cameras. Space would soon become a problem. You could be on a trip and begin to run out of space and find that any photos you had synced using iTunes (before your trip) could not be deleted. Even if you had an iPad with more storage, you could not delete those older synced photos. Apparently, you were supposed to have brought your Mac or PC on the trip, just so that you could use iTunes To delete synced photos.
I don't understand Apple's rationale for this limitation.
As of this writing, Apple does not provide a tablet that runs iTunes. So it would seem that the only solution is to buy a PC tablet such as Microsoft surface tablet. Only then would you have a full fully portable tablet that would allow you to run the iTunes program to delete old synced photos and make more room on your iPhone.
Of course you can use airdrop to transfer photos from the iPhone camera roll to an iPad and then delete them from your iPhone, but why would you want to get rid of the newer photos on your iPhone rather than the old ones that had been synced before your trip?
SInce Apple does not offer a tablet that runs OS X (and therefore is iTunes capable), this policy would seem to be in advertisement for Microsoft.
Am I missing something?When the new iCloud Photo Library and its accompanying Photo app for Mac is available, this problem will go away. In the mean time, you have another option. Instead of syncing albums or photos from your photo library onto your device, why not create a shared Photo Stream with the older photos you want to have with you? Those can be deleted as you wish.
Or, as Ralph suggested, if you are planning a trip, remove the excess photos before you leave so you do not run out of room.
Cheers,

How do I delete photos from iphone 5c? Some photos do not include a trash bin at the bottom of the page. What are my options?
It's actually more involved than any of these posts have mentioned. I just found out the hard way to completely delete photos from the iPhone.
Step 1: Back-up your photos to a computer. Make sure that you have any pictures you want to save already downloaded to iPhoto or some other place. I'm not a huge iPhoto fan, but it was the easiest place to put the pictures from photostream and then move them elsewhere on my computer.
Step 2: Turn off photostream. This deletes any pictures from the photostream on the phone or tablet.
Step 3: Plug the iPhone/iPad into any Mac computer and open the Image Capture app. Now select your device and you see that most of the pictures are in there twice. Now select BOTH COPIES of any that you want to delete and press the delete button on the bottom of the window (it's the red circle with a slash through it). DO NOT SELECT ONE COPY AND LEAVE THE OTHER THINKING THAT IT WILL STAY ON THE DEVICE...ask me why I know.
Step 4: Open iTunes and be pleasantly surprised that the 40000 gigs of space spent on photos has dropped to near zero.
Step 5: Like this post to help bump it to the top and help people clear wasted data from their iPhone/iPad.
