Why I can't delete photos from library on my iPhone?

There are photos in the library iPhone that I want to delete, I transferred them as a backup to my Mac and the option to delete does not exist on my iPhone anymore.


Can anyone shed light on the case?

How do I delete these photos from the iPhone to free up storage space?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

Only photos that have been saved to Photos on your iPhone from the Camera or other apps can be deleted from the iPhone. You cannot delete photos, that have been synced from a computer and are showing in the albums "From my Mac". To delete these synced photo you have to sync the iPhone again with the computer. The new sync will replace the photos from the previous syncing.
