How to I delete pictures from camera roll but not album on ipad

I am trying to delete pictures from my camera roll without having to delete them pictures from the album.. The reason for this is I have organised my pictures into albums on iPad and therefore would like to delete from camera roll however when I attempt to do this it says it will delete from album as well. Is there any way round this. Thanks.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

No there isn't. The original photo is being stored in the camera roll and the copy of the photo is in the album. If you remove the photo from the camera roll, you will delete it from any albums that it might be in as well.


With the benefit of an edit - my comments are with regard to trying to this on the device itself.
