Syncing Photos from iPhone 5 to iPhoto on Macbook Air

I have synced my photos from my iPhone 5 to my Macbook Air through iPhoto to free up storage. I do not have a single picture in my camera roll, but on my iPhone in storage settings, it says that Photos and Camera are still taking up 7.2GB of memory (Specifically: Photo Library - 7.2GB, Synced from iTunes Library - 0.7 KB, and Shared Photo Stream - 4.1 KB). How do I completely delete this photos off of my iPhone to free up storage without erasing them from my iPhoto on my Macbook?

iPhone 5, iOS 8.1.3

Check Settings > Photos & Camera > iCloud Photo Library (Beta) = "Off"


You may then need to reset the iPhone. Hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.


iCloud Photo Library is not on your Mac yet.
