I can't delete an album on my iPhone 4

Anyone know how to delete albums that were synced from my computer?


I have deleted them before, so know it's possible, but for some reason, since the iOS5 upgrade, it's been made nigh on impossible. What am I doing wrong? I've followed everyone's advice in the support groups, but it's just not happening for me.....


Help? 😀

iPhone 4, iOS 5

Ok, I see the problem! In itunes click on View, which is next to file and edit at the top of the window. When you click on viw a dropdown box will appear. Click on "Show Sidbar" After you have done this you will see the sidebar on the left hand side of the screen with your device in it. Click on your device and then you should see the photoes tab on the right hand side of the itunes screen. Click on that and then follow the original post.

Hope this helps.

I read all the posts from the original one and I'd say everybody who tried to help and gave us step by step guide were all very helpful. I was able to delete all those unwanted photo albums and so right this moment , I am in the process of updating Itunes and hopefully upgrade to IOS7..Thank you very much!! It took me several tries to see what works for me...The one that really worked for me was the one where you create a new folder , go to itunes, sync by clicking it to the new folder which is empty then sync...well, that was a little confusing but all I can say is this: read all the posts on this specific problem and I can guarantee you will find one that will work for you..Or a combination of all the steps that they posts here!


Thank you everyone !!
