I need to delete all 3,859 photos from my Apple iPhone 6s Plus.

Short of driving over to the Apple store for an appointment at the Genius Bar, can anyone help me permanently remove all the photos from my iPhone 6s Plus? I have even tried selecting the photos a few at a time, but the trash can never allows me to delete them.

iPhone 6s Plus, iOS 14

If you already sync them to iCloud go to Settings/[your name]/iCloud and turn off the switch for Photos. When you are asked if you want to keep them on your phone say No.
If you don’t already sync them to iCloud turn on the switch to sync them, wait for it to finish, then see step 1.

One way is to import them to Photos on a Mac or PC with Photos for windows and tap the "Delete on Import" box.

Import them to a special album so you can delete them from the computer.
