Q: Delete photos from iPhone after import

i think i found the solution guys, this is gold:

 

Plug in your iPhone and open Preview, then select File > Import From [Your iPhone’s Name]. A window appears showing all the photos on your phone, and you can move them around, save them to disk, and delete them from the phone individually or in batches. Don’t ask me why this is in Preview and not iPhoto!

I think this is basically what I said in 2012 in this very thread.

I cannot figure out a way to delete photos from my iPhone after successfully importing them into my Aperture 3 library.

Easy as pie!

My workflow:

I download iPhone image files to a folder using Bridge. (I think it does not matter how you do this.)

After I have comfirmed that my image(s) are in the folder (or in your case in Aperture), open Preview.

Click on "File". Go down to "Import from XXXXX's iPhone". In the window which opens select the images you wish to delete. At the bottom of that window the is a red "Delete selected items". Click it and wait fro process to finish.

Images are gone!!

Good luck!

Thanks Gerald, you're right!
Pity, that no one had liked or mentioned your answer as the the one that "helped to solve the question" one.
So, that it would have appeared in the beginning of the thread. It could be frustrating sometimes to go through a lot of conversations during 4 years and miss the right answer.

That's OK! I haven't gone back to re-read the posts from that time, but my recollection is that there was much interest in getting images downloaded and then automatically deleted by one piece of software. My idea meant opening another program and using that so it didn't catch on.

I have vigorously avoided letting software delete my images since reading pleas from many who thought images had been downloaded and the software had deleted images from the memory card, THEN they found the images ware missing.

The Preview idea worked well for me and I was in charge not some software doing unknown things in the background.

Another way to do mass deletion is to use Image Capture on the Mac. I was able to delete a couple thousand photos off of my phone and clear up a whole bunch of space...after I synced them with iPhoto/Google+/OneDrive/Dropbox first.
