Unable to delete photos from my Iphone!

I tried everything to 'empty' out my photos in my phones but it just wouldn't let me delete the photos at all! To be specific, I selected everything, then I delete. Next thing I know, the photos are still in the album.


Things I've tried;

  • Unsync photos from iCloud, restart, proceed to delete photos
  • Signed out of iCloud, restart, proceed to delete photos
  • Download 3rd party software 'EaseUS Mobimover' which says couldn't delete photos due to software limitations


I mean - this is apple we're talking about.

What does such a simple task such as 'deleting all photos' seems so complicated :(

iPhone X, iOS 14

Okay - nevermind, solved this issue.

Had to download 3rd party software called AnyTrans in my phone through the Appstore and successfully deleted it.

Just kind of frustrated that I had to depend on 3rd party software for a rather simple task?

(Apologies in advance if I'm the only one who feels like this)
