I have photos on my iPhone 5s that we're recovered from an old iPhone and I want to delete them.

I recovered some pics form an old iPhone 4S, don't remember what iOS it was, and are stored now in my pictures, but I want to move them to my computer and delete them from my iPhone. How could I do that???

Are you saying they are now stored in your camera roll on your 5S?

How did you move those pics from your 4S to your 5S?

Normally you import pics from your phone to computer Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your computer - Apple Support

Yes they are. But when I open my DCIM file on my computer, I can't find them to delete them. Either don't let me delete those pics and videos from my iPhone.

how did you get those pics from your 4s to 5s?

I don't remember exactly how I did it, but I think it was with iTunes that was in a computer I had two years ago...... I really don't remember exactly how it was... 😢

That means you synced those pictures to your computer using iTunes.

Keep your photos safely stored and up to date on all your devices - Apple Support

then you would do the opposite of the link I provided, but you would need to use the same computer that you original sync with.

Otherwise the only other option would for you to restore your phone as new to remove the pics

Its important to determine how they were imported to give you proper instructions.

If you imported them through iTunes, then you need to remove them through iTunes. There's no other way to remove them otherwise.

You'll need to sync an empty folder from iTunes. This will delete any and all Photos synced to the iPhone from a computer through iTunes.

My old computer died.... 😢 .....

But restoring my iPhone removes ALL the pics????

Yes restoring the phone as a new deletes all data off your phone.

You can sync with a different computer to remove them, but syncing to a different computer will also remove any music and media files not present in the iTunes library you are syncing with.

So if your music and other media on your iPhone is not available on the new computer, it too will be removed.
