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???

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2.1

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?

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
