I can't delete an album on my iPhone 4

AHHH!

The part I was missing was to create the empty folder on my computer, not on my I phone.

Your instruction solved a problem I have had for quite a while.

Thank you very much

perfect advice. i was able to clear all unwanted albums from my iphone4s due to peter's advice. i also got a kick out of the term zombie album's. thank you much!

Thank you Peter Chuang your directions worked perfectly for me!! Thanks again!

YOU ARE THE BEST! You saved Apple a customer!

➕ thank you a 100.000 times 🙂

This worked for me- I had these 1 albums on my Iphone4s for a year and didn't want them- thank you so much!

Peter Chuang, you were the only one that made sense and IT WORKED!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! 🙂

Peter Chuang's solution works, if done correctly.

Still, iTunes is not intuitive in the least, and especially not so for those who use Microsoft laptops/desktops, which is about 95% of the world's population.

I've been at it for days weeks. FINALLY, an answer that worked. Thank you.

How do i delete the albums if my itunes wont let me select "selected folders"? I have all the updates but i cant get rid of the extra albums!

I cannot take credit for this. It is from an earlier suggestion but it worked for me.. Since I did not have the "delete file" Tab in iTunes that everyone speaks about, I was unable to easily delete my folders. Wasted hours and hours trying to find a solution Until I found this.

First, I backed up all my photos onto a memory stick, then deleted all the photos & the folders from my computer.

These are instructions from another member:

(0) Create an empty folder (I named mine Photo Stream)

(1) connect iphone to computer and launch iTune

(2) in the photos tab, check "sync photos from", select "choose folder", select the empty folder in step 0).

(3) Click Sync

(4) iTune will show an warning that photos on the iphone will be replaced with this new library but pictures taken by phone won't be affected.

(5) When syncing is done, those zombie albums will be gone.

(6) in iTune uncheck " sync photos from folder", and sync again.

I did change my iPhone settings so they would not sync automatically.

.

I also did a backup "to my computer" rather than into iTunes and it freed up a Mega amount of space.

Hope this works for you.

i am still having trouble. Everyone is saying to click devices. and click to on some photo tab? I can show you what I am seeing?

If you can't see the image it says devices>sync Krystal's phone, Transfer purchases, backup or restore from back up. I have opened icloud unseleted the photos tab and then restarted my phone still no use.

Please help me figure this soultion out. I don't need photo stream or any other albums on my phone but camera roll.

Your doing it wrong. Its not device under the file tab. All you need to do is select your device as in your phone in the column on the left hand side. Do not click on anything at the top of the window. Plugg your device in and in the column on the left where you can normally see Music, Movies, TV Shows, Pod casts, Books, etc, etc, etc, etc. Just look for "Krystal's iPhone" there. It should pop up in that column as soon as you plugg it into your computer. Once you can see "Krystal's iPhone" in that column on the left just click on it and then at the top of the page in the middle window where you can see Music, Books, Movies, etc,etc. Click on Photo's. This is where you will see all your albums. Once you are here you can contiue with the proper procedure to remove the phantom albums.

Good luck....

Again Not There. I am showing you exactly what i am seeing

I'm not sure why I am having such a hard time.

Is your phone plugged into your computer? I do not see your device plugged in from the pic you just posted.
