IPhone – Photos can’t be deleted from iPhone

deletingiphonephotos

There are some photos on my iPhone 6 plus that I want to get rid of but I can't. When I click the photo the trash-can disappears. When I click edit a note pops up saying these photos are not editable.

How can I delete them?

Best Answer

If the photos were put by syncing with iTunes you can't delete them using iPhone.

To delete photos and/or albums that were copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer are deleted by doing another sync.

  • Start iTunes on the computer and connect your phone.
  • Select your phone in iTunes and select the Photos tab.
  • Then DESELECT the items you no long want on the Phone.
  • Then click on Apply or sync.

The photos or albums will be removed from your iPhone but they will remain on your computer.
