No "Delete" button in "Image Capture" app.

This is ridiculous though! Why do we have to fiddle with iCloud photo settings for a simple thing such as deleting some photos? I am seriously considering giving up everything Photo related in iOS. Shame as the camera is the only thing that is stopping me from smashing this iPhone 6 to pieces. It's an awful piece of engineering. Deletion is a basic process. I am just baffled. And as you can see - very frustrated.

Thank you Chey T and Allison! Combining both of your suggestions worked!

"The thing you need to turn off is called iCloud Photo Library (Beta), not Image Capture beta. On your iOS device, go to Settings, iCloud, Photos, and then flip the switch off for iCloud Photo Library (Beta)." -Allison

"...if you turn off the iCloud upload to photos and then rest your phone by holding down the home and power button till the Apple logo appears open Image Capture app again and boom the delete button is back." - Chey T

= SUCCESS! Delete button is back and we can all declutter our phones again!

Your advice does not apply.

I have the same issue with Image Capture.

In Image Capture interface;

• Where did the "DELETE" button go for images on my connected iOS device?

• Where did the "DELETE AFTER IMPORT" option go?

So aggravating and frustrating when Apple pulls unexplained stunts like this without warning.

I have the same issue with Image Capture. Why were file management options disabled?

It is truly baffling to the end-user.

Hi, I know this is a bit outdated. But I really want to delete the pictures in my iPhone 5s, now I know everyone has been saying turn off iCloud(Beta) and you should be fine. But my problem is, my iPhone isn't on iCloud(Beta) and I still have no "delete" button. Help?

From my experience, you have to wait until all image thumbnails are loaded into the selection grid, then the Delete after Import appears.

It actually wasn't enough for me to simply do this. If your device is still connected via USB after you disable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), quit Image Capture and then disconnect the USB cable. Reconnect the cable and launch Image Capture again, and the "Delete after import" option should return. You don't have to reboot the iOS device, you just need to reestablish the trust relationship between the iOS device and the computer.

THIS is very helpful! Thank you very much!!

A hard reset on my iPhone did the trick along with disabling iCloud.The Photos App is an absolute crap shoot. Who wants to bet money after reenabling the Photo Library it will soon tell me there's 500 brand new photos to import.

Agree with you WestVanPete. The answer given above DOES NOT WORK.

I turned off iCloud Photo Stream and the "Delete" button is still missing.

The suggestion was to turn off iCloud Photo Library, not Photo Stream.

To anyone read this and want a SOLUTION regarding the delete button not appearing... I am using OS X Yosemite and just discovered you will need to do this in this exact order.

Select Settings then iCloud and proceed to Photos. TURN OFF EVERYTHING IN THE PHOTO SECTION. Exit out and restart Image Capture on the Mac. The delete button should now be there. I hope this helps!!!
