photo won’t deleted

I have an album on my phone liberty called “from my mac” I have there only 9 photos. The folder doesn't appear on my mac or In my cloud, the photos are only on my iPhone.

I want to delete the photos from there and it's can't possibly. I see only the icon with the narrow (attached to the Q).


What can I do to delete the photos from my iPhone?

iPhone X, iOS 14

The "From My Mac" photos will probably have been synced to the iPhone from a computer (with iTunes or directly from the Finder on a Mac). These photos can only be deleted from the iPhone by syncing again with a computer and omitting these particular albums when syncing.


Or, using brute force, consider to enable iCloud Photos. This will automatically erase all "From my Computer" albums, because iCloud Photos and manually syncing cannot be used at the same time.
