    If the albums are based on tags, remove the tags (favorite, flag, or custom tags) from the photos.

     

    See: Delete photos from iPhoto: http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/1.1/#blnkc3fc92ab

    Delete photos

    Depending on how your photos and video clips were added to iPhoto, do one of the following:

    • Photos and video clips taken with your device: Open the Photos app on your device, tap Camera Roll, tap to select the photos, and tap Delete button.
    • Photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply, and click Sync.
    • Photos in the Beamed, Photo Box, iTunes, or [App] album: Tap a photo, tap Gear (Action) button (tap Edit if you don’t see the tool), tap Delete Photo, and tap Delete.

     

    Regards

    If these photos are in albums that were copied to your iPhone by syncing with your computer you need to use iTunes on your computer to sync again.

     

    But before connecting your iPhone to your computer, you need to move the individual photos you want deleted from your phone out of the albums they are in on your computer. Move them to a different album or to some other location where they will not be compiled to your iPhone.

     

    Then start iTunes on your computer, connect your iPhone and sync.

     

    If you want to remove whole albums form you iPhone you can deselect those albums in the Photos tab of iTunes before clicking on Apply or Snc.
