Ralph with all due respect I don't think it would have been possible for you to miss the point more spectacularly. It doesn't matter that the hidden photos don't appear in other apps, fact is they're still taking up unnecessary space.


However, there is a simple solution so long as you've installed an app on your Mac/PC to allow you to browse your iDevice's folders.

With the iPhoto app closed, navigate to [root] > Apps >iPhoto and delete the Library folder completely. iPhoto will recreate it next time you open the app, which is fine, but the Edited folder (and any others you've made I guess) will be gone, until you edit your photos again.

Sorry I didn't think these communities would take very kindly to explicitly telling people how to hack their phones, so that's why I wasn't specific. Certainly the app I use - iExplorer - works on non-jailbroken phones because my phone isn't jailbroken. It's a bit tedious to use because when you tell it to delete a complete directory it sometimes doesn't properly delete the contents if there are subdirectories; you end up having to go into the subdirectories, delete the files, then delete the subdirectories. But it kind of gets there
