    Are the photos you are trying to delete in your camera roll, my photo stream, shared photo stream or photo library album?

    You can delete photos in any album except Photo Library by opening the album, tapping Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, tap Delete.  To delete photos from the photo library album, you have to connect your iPad to your computer, go to the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and uncheck the folders containging the photos you want to delete (or to delete the all, uncheck Sync Photos), then click Apply at the bottom to sync your iPad.

    I need help/  I want to delete photo stream off my iPad and not my mac or iPhone but all 3 are under my name/account.  I don't want to lose them off the other devices but I need room on my iPad.  Can I delete off iPad only?  Thanks,
