Hello there, wishin\'fishin\'.
The following Knowledge Base article provides the methods to delete photos from your iOS device:

Particularly:
To delete synced photos and videos from your device
- In iTunes, click the Device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper-right corner first.)
- Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
- Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Note: To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."- Click Apply.
To delete Camera Roll photos and videos from your device
There are two methods to delete items from the Camera Roll:
- Import the Camera Roll to your computer and choose to delete items after import.
- Delete photos and videos from your device manually:
- Open the Photos application and open the Camera Roll.
- Tap the Action button.
- Tap each photo to select it.
- Tap the Delete button.
Note: For photos and videos you want to save, import them to your computer before deleting them from the Camera Roll.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
