How can I use my Chromebook to delete "from My Computer" albums from my phone?

I hear that to delete "from My Computer" photo albums from your iPhone, you can do it through iTunes. I cannot do this because I can't have iTunes on my Chromebook. My Chromebook can still upload my photos to the Drive but it has left 10 albums of "from My Computer" on my phone and I can't get rid of it!

This happened when I upgraded my phone from the 5s to 6s. Does anyone know the solution?? Thanks!!

iPhone 6s, iOS 9.2

You can not use your chromebook to do that. In order to do that, you need iTunes, which will not run on a chromebook.

What happened to the computer you used to sync the photos to the phone to begin with? If you no longer have access to it, you're going to have to erase the phone to get rid of them.

The ONLY way for them to get there was to select the option in iTunes to sync photos to the phone. There is no way for you to get photos on your phone from your Chromebook.

Thank you!

Only thing that confuses me is that my Chromebook is the only computer that has uploaded my pictures. The computer I use for iTunes is not used for uploading pictures. So when I tried to use iTunes to delete those unnecessary albums, it wasn't an option..
