I wish to delete DCIM subfolders

I am unable to delete DCIM subfolders on my Iphone, i have transferred the photos and want to tidy up.

These folders appear to create randomly, I would rather create them myself as over time it will become totally unmanageable.

This is what it looks like at the moment and will become a complete mess by next year. I am aware that it saves no storage space, some numpty on another forum asked "why do you need to delete them". Because I want to and as previously stated, over time it will just grow and become a mess.

Why do developers think they know best?.

Why am I unable to email Apple direct

The online help is as much use as a chocolate teapot

As an Apple customer I should expect Apple to take responsibility for their devices and not slope shoulder to a forum or off shore help desk.

I someone from Apple will take this issue on board

No one can delete DCIM folder, that is not allowed. The DCIM folders fall under the internal storage of the iPhone.

However, it is possible to view the photos in order to save the photos elsewhere and/or delete them.

If you 'empty' all DCIM folders, you cannot delete them either.

You're not addressing Apple here, and we, just users like you, cannot help you about that matter.

If you'd like, please submit your request/comment/suggestion to Apple directly, using this link:--> Apple – Product Feedback - iPhone

Thanks and regards
