Mar 3, 2016 11:01 AM in response to Dino Onoby King_Penguin,★HelpfulHow did the photos get on the iPad ? If they were synced from a computer you can't delete them directly on the iPad, you need to reconnect the iPad to your computer's iTunes and use its Photos tab in iTunes to change your photo sync selection and resync. To delete all synced photos try selecting and syncing just an empty folder

Mar 3, 2016 9:18 AM in response to Dino Onoby SergZak,These photos may be ones you have synced/added to the iDevice using iTunes on the Mac/PC. To get them off the iDevice, you'll need to sync them off using iTunes again. Photos synced to an iDevice using iTunes cannot be removed from the device itself. Before syncing the photos off of the device, make sure you back them up if you need them.
Follow the instructions here:
Sync photos from your computer to your iOS device using iTunes - Apple Support

Mar 3, 2016 11:04 AM in response to King_Penguinby Dino Ono,Many thanks for your response. This also applies to the response from SergZak.
The photos were originally downloaded direct from my camera (Canon) to the iPad without involving ITunes. So I am not quite sure how to proceed from here.
Any further thoughts would be gratefully received.

Mar 4, 2016 5:42 AM in response to King_Penguinby Dino Ono,They are in the Photo album. It may be that when the Photo album was introduced by Apple, replacing Iphoto, they forgot to transfer the ability for users tp delete all photos?

Mar 4, 2016 3:28 PM in response to Dino Onoby King_Penguin,They are in the Photos app on the iPad, but what album(s) are the photos in in the app ? If you select the Albums tab, bottom middle of the app, what albums do they appear in ?
It's never been possible to delete photos that were synced from a computer, directly in the Photos app

Mar 4, 2016 3:41 PM in response to King_Penguinby Dino Ono,Many thanks. The photos appear in an album called: Events from My Mac. This is not an album I have created myself, but it hs been created by the Ipad. The photos are also on my Apple IMac and my MacBook Pro.
It is just annoying, that these photos take up so much space on my Ipad, that I may have to buy a new one.

Mar 4, 2016 3:52 PM in response to Dino Onoby King_Penguin,That implies that you've synced those photos from your Mac to your iPad. To delete them, connect the iPad to your Mac and select it in your Mac's iTunes, and use its Photos tab to change your photo sync selection :
To remove all photos that you synced from your Mac, try selecting syncing just an empty folder/album on that tab
