Q: there is no delete option in photo stream or photo library

I am unable to delete photos that are in photo library and photo stream.  I do not have a delete option.  Does anyone know how to delete these photos? I have tried turning My Photo Stream off and none of my photos are deleted like the message warns me.  I am unable to access any of my photos in ICloud to delete them only the most recent ones show up in ICloud.  The only options I have are Share or Add to. 

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.3

    The Delete button is only available in your Photo Streams, Camera Roll or Albums you made on the iPhone. Synced photos from a computer can not be deleted and have to be done through the iTunes sync process.

     

    Tap Photo Stream - My Photo Stream then tap on the Edit button here, there should be a Delete button at the bottom. If not try Resetting your iPhone:

     

    From the Home screen double tap the Home button to view the multitasking bar at the bottom. Tap and hold an app at the bottom till the icons wiggle with the minus button visible. Tap the button to close all apps then tap the Home button to get back to the Home page. Press and hold the Sleep button till you see the Slide to power off message and power it off. Once powered down completely press and hold the sleep button till the Apple icon appears.
