Deleting Photo Albums 5s

1SushiDiva · Aug 13, 2015

I have two "photo" albums that synced from an old iPhone. When I try to delete those albums from my phone via the delete button there is no "red delete" that would be next to that album.

How can I delete these albums?

It looks like they were synced via iTunes. It's not possible to remove these from the iPhone itself. To get rid of this album, you'll have to sync your iPhone to iTunes again.

Below "Delete synced photos", you'll find the instructions on this site:
Sync photos from your computer to your iOS device using iTunes - Apple Support

Hope that helps.

You probably created those albums in iTunes or that's how they transferred to your current iPhone. If you want to delete them, or specific photos within them, you'll need to go through iTunes again. For example, if you want to delete select photos from an album, you'll need to delete them from the album on your computer and then apply sync changes in iTunes. If you want to remove an entire album, just uncheck it in iTunes and sync again.
