Photos Import to Mac from iphone, iphone photo deletion not working

How we can get the photos from iphone deleted after the import to Mac gets successful?


I have tried it couple of times by clicking the checkbox for deleting photos from iphone on import completion.


Regards,

Gorak

You might be fortunate that it isn't working. We've seen two many incomplete downloads and complete deletion where photos are lost for ever.


It's always best to download and verify before deleting from the iPhone. You can use Image Capture to delete from the iPhone after confirming that download and import into the library was successful. Since I'm in the mood for adages remember the carpenter's adage: measure twice - cut once (or not). 😉
