    If they transferred from your computer to your phone via USB cable, it would have to have been via iTunes sync. To remove them you sync again using iTunes but use the following steps from Sync photos to your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch in iTunes - Apple Support

    Delete synced photos

    1. In iTunes, locate and click on your device.
    2. Click Photos.
    3. Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
      To delete all synced photos, deselect "Sync Photos from" and, when asked, click "Remove photos."
    4. Click Apply.

    You may also want to open iTunes, go to Preferences, click on Devices at the top of the Preferences window and put a check mark in front of "Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically" in order to prevent automatic syncing in the future.
