Q: how to delete photo albums on iPhone 5
My phone storage is full because when syncing iPhone 5 to my Mac (10.10.5) it loaded 6.3GB of photos to my phone. I tried changing sync settings in iTunes but the photos are still on my phone. I do not get an option to delete albums when I go to photos>albums>edit. What am I missing here?
iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.5)

Is iCloud Photo Library enabled in your phone? If it is the pictures are getting synced automatically across your devices.

If it does not help, you may have to restore as New and reconfigure from scratch as the backup could be corrupted. For this reason it is important to have your important photos and data saved separately from the backup. Here are the steps for a Restore:
