The iPhone cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional 7.91 GB required). This 7.91 that i apparently need is due to the fact that it is full of photos that apple will not let me delet

Try importing the photos to iPhoto (if your using a Mac), once they are imported it will ask if you want to delete them from the phone. Click yes.

In Photos, select the Recently Deleted album and delete everything inside.

[And show some respect for the volunteers who are trying to help.]

No other phone system will be any different if you wish to choke it with photos and data. You can't fit two gallons into a one gallon jug. Seems millions of other iOS users are having no such problem.

I had photos that iTunes would not delete and I had music that iTunes would not let me delete. I found the following answer to the music and I think it will work for photos.

At the Apple store the answer was to go on the iPhone to Settings, General, usage, and look for the music app icon. Select music, select edit on top right of screen, and choose to delete and that deletes all music off the phone, and frees up the space. The delete action is not instantaneous, it took maybe five minutes to delete 10.6GB. Then coming home I could re-synch and return all my favorite songs and audio lessons. Now instead of having 5GB free, I have almost 18GB free with the music I want on it and am able to manage. Yea !!!!

And maybe that solution would have worked for the "deleted" photo situation many had elsewhere in this discussion group and saved the trouble of changing the date to something last year or two. That does work, but doing the above should be easier. Let us know that it works on photos. Note that deleting deletes all. So you need to resynch after the delete. Always something new to learn!
