What if a photo album on my iPhone doesn't have an option to delete, how do i delete it?

On my iPhone 5s which is updated to iOS 9.1, i have a problem with something in my photos... A couple months ago I synced a video and a picture from my computer and now since i need space on my computer i want to delete them. When i went to delete them hey were in a album called "Events From My Mac" and when i click on the picture or video it seems to not have an option to delete it. So, i plugged my iPhone into my computer to delete it from there and when i went to select the album it wasn't there and I've been through other apple discussions about a similar thing and it didn't work or help at all.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.1

See the instructions below from Sync photos from your computer to your iOS device using iTunes - Apple Support If the originals are no longer on the computer and you want to delete the copy on the phone, click the link on the line below step 4 for further instructions.

In iTunes, locate and click on your device.

Click Photos.

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."

Click Apply.
