I want to remove all photos from iPhone. When I go to "Synch Photos from iPhone" I get a message that the iPhone cannot be synched because not enough space is available. How can I take all photos off iPhone?

I have far too many photos on my iPhone want to remove all of them and start fresh. When I go to "Synch Photos from iPhone" and click on "no events" and then click "synch" I get a message that the iPhone cannot be synched because not enough space is available. How can I take all photos off iPhone?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

The easiest way other than deleting them one at a time, would be to hook it up to your computer, iPhoto comes up if you're on a Mac. It shows all of the photos on your phone, asks if you want to import them, or it will tell you if your photos have all been imported. Then it has a question, keep or delete the photos from your device. Click delete, and voila, they are all removed from your iPhone.

I'm not sure what you'd do if you are using a Windows machine.

That's weird. Okay, what happens with mine is as soon as I plug my iPhone in, iPhoto pops up and immediately shows the photos on my phone, which I find annoying, and asks those questions.

Maybe you could start iPhoto manually after you hook it up to your Mac, then see if IPhoto shows the pictures on your phone. I had that happen with my old iPhone. As soon as I pulled iPhoto up it did show the photos on the phone, and if I wanted to import, then keep or delete them. Maybe try that.

There is a way to delete ALL photos at once directly on your iPhone. Go to "Settings" -> "General" -> "Usage" -> "Photos & Camera".... on the "Cameral Roll" swipe from left to right and you will see a delete button. Press to delete ALL.


You can do the same with the "Photo Library" and "Photo Stream" options. =D
