Bulk Deleting ALL Photos from iPhone

This is nearly enough for me to leave Apple. This is INCREDIBLY complicated. I've spend 1/2 hour scouring the internet for this answer. I don't want to hit select 150 times. I want to just DELETE ALL photos from my iPhone. Could there possibly be an easy answer Apple? I've tried Image Capture, I've tried Apple Photos, I've tried using the iPhone. No answers. You all seriously need to go back to the drawing board on this. My 64GB iPhone 6 is full, my photos are backed up to my MacBook. I JUST WANT TO DELETE THE DARN PHOTOS OFF OF THE IPHONE IN ONE STEP!!!! I'm on iOS 9.3.4.

Assuming the photos are in the camera roll (synced photos have to be unsynced using iTunes in order to delete them), launch the Photos app. Open the Camera roll album. While in thumbnail view, tap Select in the upper right corner. Tap on the bottom left photo to select it. Then swipe across each row of photos to select an entire row at a time. You can also swipe across and up the right side, but I have better success swiping one row at a time.


After all of the photos have been selected that you want to delete, tap the trash can icon.
