Q: Can't delete photos?
There are a lot of subsections under my camera roll that says things like "Apr 2013 Photo Stream- 13 from my mac". I need to know how to delete these pictures because I have absolutely no more storage left on my phone.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.2

Photos that were synced from a computer are deleted by syncing again but with different settings. See the instructions below from Keep your photos safely stored and up to date on all your devices - Apple Support
If you don't want the synced photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch anymore, turn off syncing in iTunes and they'll be removed from your device. You can turn off syncing for some of your photo albums or all of them at once.
Stop syncing some albums
- Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Click on the device icon in iTunes.
- Click Photos.
- Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections that you want to stop syncing.
- Click Apply.
Stop syncing all photos
- Open iTunes on your computer and connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
- Click on the device icon in iTunes.
- Click Photos.
- Deselect "Sync Photos" then click "Remove photos."
- Click Apply.
