Can't delete images transferred from computer

Hey,
so I finally figured out how to put the images that I take from my iphone into folders (transfer them to my computer, put them into folders and trasnfer back). But, now I can't delete them using the iphone. That option of deleting an image is no longer available on the pics I have transferred from the computer. I can still delete the ones I take with the phone or save from a website. Is there any way of deleting the pics that I have transferred from my computer, other than to connect the phone back to the computer and delete them from there.

Basically I've found that the best way to manage everything between your computer and iPhone is to have an iPhone specific directory that contains the pictures and videos you want synced. That way if you want to delete a picture you can delete it from that directory and not have to worry about it because you have the original pictures located in another directory that is safe.

Nope. When you include the pictures from your computer it is similar to the songs and videos you sync as well, you can only delete them from the iPhone while you have it connected to iTunes. If you want to remove them you have to do it on your computer end then resync your iPhone.

There was never an option to delete pics that are synced with iTunes. You could only ever delete the camera roll pics only.

Only option is to control what gets put on with the next sync.
