    The photo library album is automatically created on your device whey you sync photos from your computer to your phone using iTunes.  It contains the combined photos from any folder(s) you sync to your phone.  To remove these photos, connect your phone to iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck "Sync Photos" and tap Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.  If you only want to remove some photos and not others, remove them from the folder on your computer that you synced them from, then sync again.

    Amazingly enough I have the same problem as Kassidyariel. I believe you have the solution but I do not understand your directions. What do you mean by "connect your phone to iTunes"? Does that mean tap the iTune app?

    No, it means connect your phone to iTunes on your computer.  Connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings, uncheck "Sync Photos",  then click Apply at the bottom to sync your phone.
