Which "Windows" phone are you referencing, @aqm_?

Fool...

I agree that this is very frustrating for me as a loyal iPhone user. Why would somthing as simple as a select all button be overlooked in this day and age?! Come on Apple wake up and get it right!

Thanks tantoantd--totally worked with my iphone 4s where i had accumulated over 7000 pics. So glad to have a clean folder!

Thank you! I was about to try connecting to the iPhone from a Windows VM. This did the trick.

Problem was that I have been importing photos and videos to iPhoto since 2010, and leaving them on the phone since I had plenty of space (64gb on my current 5s)--until now. Had I selected the option in iPhoto to delete after import, and then synced back, via iTunes I would have been fine. Most likely I will do this from now on.

Amazing that there is not a more intuitive way to do this.

This did the trick for me! Thanks.

To permanently delete photo,video and other files on iPhone,you can use a iPhone data eraser

There are some iPhone data eraser software in the market, but few can be completely and permanently delete the data on iPhone, even if data has been cleared, some professional iPhone data recovery software can recover them later.

Please read this use guide about how to Permanently delete Photo from iPhone before Selling your iPhone.So no one can get you personal information and data from iPhone,after you sell, donate or give it away.

By using an app called "Image Capture" on Macs or my computer on PCs . . See the following

Here's what it looks like

I'm not really sure if you have to import the Pics or not , notice that my iphone is connected on the left and i already imported the photos becasue i want them , on the left side of the work "Import to" there's a "Red No" sign .. (Command+A) OR (CTRL+A on PCs) then press on that button

This the information here: http://gigaom.com/2013/08/09/need-more-space-on-your-iphone-how-to-quickly-delet e-all-photos-from-your-camera-roll/

I used the Image Capture tool.

After clicking on the camera icon on your screen. Click on the photo on the bottom left hand corner. Then on the top left hand corner click on 'Camera Roll'. Now at the top of my screen it says All-Photos-Videos. Click on ALL. Now at the bottom is the arrow icon to send photos to someone. I click on that SEND icon and up comes the screen that says: SELECT ITEMS. I select every MF photo I want to delete (sometimes a couple of hundred) and hit the DELETE button at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. BASTA. DONE.

Yes it was a ***** finding this out. I did it by accident once. And yes to the previous poster, you do not need to hook up to a computer to delete your photos, and, yes, Apple makes it ridiculously arcane.

Using iOS 7.0.6 the only way I was able to delete all photos at once is with the Image Capture application on my Mac. Nothing else seems to work. Image Capture! Who would have thunk? Apple software used to be intuitive. What happened?

how about tapping 1309 photos one by one on your device to delete them all. Apple engineers are stupid

i agree with you, but they just want to be different, even if it means commen sense

Thanks, this was very helpful!
