HELP ! How to delete multiple albums at once in Photos on an iPhone

I have more than hundred albums created by a wildlife cam in Photos. All these albums are empthy and probably created installing that software...

I there any way to delete these at once? I do not own a Mac but I use iTunes on my PC.

Big thanks to anyone having the same issue and found a solution!

Hey there HugoMKB,


Do you use iCloud to also sync your Photos? If so, you can use iCloud Photos, and delete photos and videos from one device, the photos and videos will be deleted on your other devices. Or, you can log into www.icloud.com from your PC and edit your photos from iCloud directly.


You can also follow these steps to delete multiple photos from your iPhone at once:

1. Open Photos.
2. From the Library tab, tap All Photos, then tap Select.
3. Tap multiple photos, or slide your finger across multiple photos to select more than one.
4. Tap the Trash button , then confirm to delete the items.


Find that information and more here: Delete photos on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.


Kind regards!

hello Genieen16,


thanks for your reply and suggestions.

Unfortunately it does not work...:

In iCloud, after syncing my photo's, I can see photo's but not the empty albums which were created by the app. Maybe the reason is that the albums are empty and do not show up or are simply not synchronized when empty?


In the photos app on my iPhone, I can indeed select photos but the albums again are not shown so i can again not select to delete them.


this is apparently a very difficult issue on an ipone...


kind regards,
