Q: How to delete pix/albums in iPhoto for iOS.?

I created two Journals in iPhoto for iOS.

When uploading to the iCloud I constantly run into "Storage almost full" problems. I have already deleted many apps to create space, but iPhoto seems to consistently grow in size (iPad > Settings>General> Usage: 6.8GB for iPhoto), worse yet, when publishing the Journals which are on the iPad it seems that additional space is needed for the publishing process.

 

I did NOT find a way to delete either Pictures or Albums in the iPhoto for iOS app, nor do I find a way to delete Photos and Camera in Settings, nor (individual or a range of) Photos or Albums in the Photos app. In the Photos tab of the Photos app there is a red Delete button, but this is greyed out; in the Albums tab this Delete button does not appear at all.

 

Any advice/suggestion/pointer would be highly appreciated. Thanks and cheers from Austria.

iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2), iPhone 4S with iOS6

    See this:

     

    iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Delete photos from iPhoto

    Basically, you have to delete the photos the same way you got them onto the iPad in the first place.

     

    • In the Photos.app, you should be able to delete photos in the camera roll and in the events that have been uploaded using the camera connection kit, but no other.
    • Any synced photo can only be deleted by syncing again.
    • For Photos that have been edited, you need to undo all edits, before you can delete them, otherwise the delete button will not be active.
    • Albums created by tagging cannot be deleted, they are created automatic. You delete these albums by removing the tags from the photos. Then the album will vanish.

    Thanks for pointer and the synopsis, which really helped to understand how iPhoto for iOS works.

     

    I have a related problem, published in this Forum: "How to re-import a Journal", perhaps you know an answer, would be highly appreciated.
