iPhone storage

Hi,

so my iPhone has reached its storage maximum I’ve used 61GB out of 64GB, 30ish of that is from my photos! So I went to delete photos and it won’t let me mass delete anything, when I do delete them they appear again once I’ve opened the app again, and when I go to delete recently delete photos those appear back again also! How do I fix this!? As it won’t let me take any more photos anymore.

Probably you have synced these Photos from your Mac/PC though iTunes. Un-sync then they be gone.

Un-Sync photos to your device

Connect your device to your Mac.
You can connect your device using a USB or USB-C cable or using a Wi-Fi connection. To turn on Wi-Fi syncing, see Sync content between your Mac and iPhone or iPad over Wi-Fi.
In the Finder on your Mac, select the device in the Finder sidebar.
Select Photos in the button bar.
Note: When iCloud Photos is turned on, no photo syncing options appear when you select Photos in the button bar.
Select “Sync Photos to your device from” tickbox, then choose Photos, Pictures or a folder from the pop-up menu.
Uncheck Sync photos
Click on Apply / Sync
