How do I remove "My Events" from my iPhoto on my iPhone 5s

I have photos in my iPhoto called "my events" then below it says from my mac. How do I remove these photos? I've tried syncing my phone with iTunes and gone to photos but I still do not see the events anywhere on there to remove it.

  1. Create a folder on the computer that you now sync with, and add a single photo to that folder.
  2. In the Photos tab in iTunes, click the box next to "Sync Photos From."
  3. In the pop-up menu next to "Sync Photos From," choose the folder you created in step 1.
