Removing Photos that were manually added to the iPhone

So I had these photos in a folder on my desktop that I decided to manually add to the iPhone. I dragged the group of photos to the iPhone icon in iTunes and it worked. But now I want to delete them and I am not able to. Does anyone know how to take them out? I tried restoring and they are still there. Syncing, still there.

Thanks for your help Niel, but no, those suggestions didn't work. I manually dragged the photos from my computer desktop to the iPhone icon in iTunes. I did not take the pictures with my phone, I did not synced them from iPhoto either. I physically dragged them to the iPhone icon. Thanks anyway for your help.

You sync with the computer again using iTunes but using the instructions quoted below from https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201313
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.

How do I remove photos that were uploaded to my iphone 4

How do I remove photos that were uploaded to my iphone 4. They were photos that were taken with a Camera, and I somehow loaded them into my iphone.

Welcome to the Apple Community Brian.
It would help if we knew where they have come from.
My webpage here might help you understand the various ways photos can be saved on your device and some of the advantages and disadvantages associated with each method.

Is there a way to find the photos that iTunes backs up from the iPhone?

A friend of mine had to replace his phone and something happened when he added the new phone. He can't find his photos that should have been backed up. There must be a file somewhere where they are saved on the computer I would think. Can it be accessed? Also what about contacts?

Thanks for the info. Not sure what he did or if he is very tech savvy. He and his wife bought 3G S phones and her's froze up after a month and had to be replaced. I don't know for sure if he had backed it up or not. I know he went to the Apple Store to get it replaced and he asked them about transferring the contacts and they said they couldn't because the phone was froze up. I know they had it just over 30 days. I don't think they were using another program for their contacts either.
Along the same lines another friend was asking about the photos and if there was a way to access them from the backup on the computer. He also had to replace his phone, but restored it from backup and got all his photos back. He was asking if there was a file somewhere to access those photos on the computer. I don't know how tech savvy he is, and maybe he doesn't realize that when you connect your phone to the computer that it gives you the option to view the photos and then copy them.

FAQ: Can I delete photos that were added to GroupPix?

FAQ: Can I delete photos that were added to GroupPix?
Answer:
Yes, the person that added a photo can also delete it. Additionally, the host of the event can delete any photo. Contributors cannot delete photos that other people took, however.

In the same way the photos were transferred from your Mac - via the iTunes sync process.
If you use iPhoto, deselect the Events or Albums you want removed from your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes followed by a sync, etc.

I downloaded some photos that were from an older version of iPhoto. i installed the application to upgrade. i opened iphoto,

I downloaded some photos that were from an older version of iPhoto,I was asked to install the application to upgrade/. (Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process for very large libraries may take an hour or more to complete.) I clicked ok, & iphoto will now not open or close. It continues to search, even when I turn computer off & back on. Please, HELP??? I NNED my photos!

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac. The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto. I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing. Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??

iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

Once I downloaded the new IOS 5.0 I've lost all of my photos that were stored on my PC, and I no longer have access to them on the IPOD. Cannot figure out what has happened. Please help.

Thanks lllaass, but I am not computer literate and do not understand exactly what it is I am supposed to do. All of my photos were stored on Microsoft Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I now access the gallery the only thing that is there are the folders with the title of the folders. The pictures that were in those folders are now gone. I can no longer access them on my IPOD either. My photo library on my IPOD is now empty.
Thanks again for your help.

I accidentally synced my iPhone 4 to another account before I had the chance to back up my files, is there any way to retrieve the photos that were on my iPhone?

I had an iPhone 4 that got stolen and just got a new one, so after I had taken important photos I plugged the phone into iTunes and it accidentally restored to my old iPhone data and uploaded all that information, deleting the new photos before I had a chance to back them up. I don't suppose there is any way of retrieving this lost data?

If these are photos that were synced to your phone, the only way to extract them from your phone is third-party software, like this:

If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does it take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff

If I back up iMovie projects to an external drive does imovie take the media with it? I want to free up space and remove pictures that were in iPhoto...that were used as media by iMovie when project was under way. In short I want archive iMovie stuff. If I pull pics out of iPhoto, and later want to drag an archived projet bac into iMovie and the pics are no longer in iPhoto, will I be able to keep working in the project in iMovie?

Very likely not, as the iPhoto's can be used for something else.
More like it took a copy, or it's referencing that spot on the drive in the editable files and most likely made a copy to create a new permanent export file.
Sample one picture and a iMovie file and see what happens.

Thanks for your quick response. I thought I had tried that but I must not have because it worked perfectly.
