Hi WildFire1234,

Welcome to the Support Communities! The articles below will explain how to see how much of your iPhones capacity is being used by Photos and other data, and how to delete the photos from your device. I suggest you create a backup of your photos by importing them into your computer before deleting them from your iPhone.
