How to delete photo albums from iPhone 4

I synced some photo albums from my computer to my iPhone 4, but now I want to delete them. I opened iTunes, and UNCHECKED the sync folder button, and a message popped up asking if I wanted to keep or delete the photos on my phone. I clicked DELETE.

After the phone synced, the photos are still in my Photo Library on my iPhone! And there's no way to manually delete them off the phone either.

HELP!! I want the photos off my phone.

Thanks.

iPhone 4, iOS 4

Go to ITUNES, select SYNC PHOTOS from IPHONE

Select 'SELECTED ALBUMS EVENTS AND FACES and AUTOMATICALLY INCLUDE' -then select NO EVENTS (also make sure you don't have ANY albums faces or events ticked)

This will then remove all your albums and just leave your camera roll.

HappyFeet87, thank you!!!! Your a genius!!!

may i expand on your explanation??

The simplest way to delete an album that you have transferred from your computer is to create an empty folder on your Iphone and name it the same as the album that you want to delete on your iphone. next go into your PC and create a new folder. Connect your phone to your computer and open itunes. Go to photos for 'sync photos from' select your empty folder and then click on sync. This should delete the album. I just tried it and it happened to work. afterwards you can dis connect your Iphone from PC go into your phone photo album and click on edit, you can now remove all unwanted empty folders.

hey presto.................GONE.

it worked for me, with thanks once again to Happyfeet87🙂🙂🙂

The easiest and safest way to ensure that all your data is deleted is to use a third-party tool such as iOS Data Eraser, especially for an iOS device like iPhone or iPad. It is perhaps the best iPhone and iPad eraser,which can help you erase photos on iPhone permanently,that will get your devices all cleaned up like new before you want to resell it, donate it, trade it, or even send it off to repair. Download the program and follow these steps carefully to permanently delete your data from iPhone or iPad.
