I couldn't figure out how to download photos to pc and somehow added things to my phone and it won't let me delete the items I downloaded. I select them and the trash can isn't available to delete them. How do I get rid of them?
iPhone 7, iOS 15
Hello There,
If you add photos to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by connecting your device to your computer, you can't delete them directly from your device in the Photos app. If you see the gray Trash button 
when you try to delete a photo from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you might need to stop syncing photos from your computer. Learn how to stop syncing photos from your computer.

Thank you. I didn't intentionally put them on the phone. I was trying to get my photos off the phone and didn't realize it was syncing pics into my phone. I am not to good with this apple/pc stuff. So how do I delete the extra files from my phone?
What do you mean by extra files? Are they in the file application?
Deleting pics/documents from Iphone
