cant erase fotos from iphone

Hi


When selecting a photo, the delete icon remains gray and cannot be activated.

This applies to both a photo from 2012 and 2023.

I want to delete ALL my photos on my iPhone (I downloaded them on Mac and iCloud is not used)

I use an iPhone 12 mini 125GB, iOS 16,5,1

iPhone 6s, iOS 14

If you used iTunes or Finder "sync" to transfer the photos from the Mac to the iPhone, the only way to delete some or all of them (short of erasing the entire phone) is to repeat the "sync" specifying a smaller set of photos. (For example, if you previously synced photos from folders A, B, C, D, and E but no longer want the photos from folders C you would repeat with A, B, D, and E only. If you want to remove the photos that came from all five folders, create an empty folder and sync from that.)
