No, un-check the "Sync Photos" box and apply the change. That removes all synced photos, regardless of whether or not they are still in their original location on the computer.

I actually tried that already didnot work :-( although these photo files were transferred from a different computer. The sync in iTunes photo doesn't help I tried opening the internal storage of the iPhone when it's connected to my computer that doesn't work. This is driving me crazy when I try to select from the photo album it either doesn't show the delete option or the trashcan is grayed out and unaccessable.

any other ideas thank you

If the photos were synced from another computer, the only way to correct that is to turn off syncing completely for photos. If you have any other photos, this would remove them as well. But it sounds as if you have tried this already. With that in mind, create an empty folder that you can use to sync in your pictures folder area and select that folder to sync, then apply the sync. This will remove the other folders and sync this empty folder. Then you can go back to the Photo tab and remove the checkmark again and it will remove the empty folder and your photo album will be empty.

I had the same problem in deleting folders/albums from my I pad photo app, but now understand it, "go into Albums", "then Edit","then tap the X marked folder", "then select delete option"

None of the solutions presented here worked.

I wasn´t able to remove/erase my photos synced from another computer to my new iphone and new imac.

What i did was: backup my iphone and then restore it to that backup

The photo albums synced from the other computer/iphone are gone...finally!

But then it presented another problem.

I had to authorise my new computer to my itunes account.

That gave an error, until i found out the solution: deleting the SC info folder: here are the instructions iTunes repeatedly prompts to authorize computer to play iTunes Store purchases - Apple Support

You need to go 'View' then 'Show Albums' then under 'Image' you can delete the album

Wrong advice to a very old issue which has since been resolved for the OP.

This worked very well for me!

Then you had a different problem.
