Can I delete all photos except for my favorites?

I want to delete everything out of my photos but not the pictures in my favorites. Is there any way to do that on iOS 11?

I have a few thousand pictures, so it’s really time consuming to go though and see which photos are favorites and which aren’t. I was wondering if there was a quick way to delete everything except for my favorites.

If you open the favourites album in photos and click edit and then add them to a new album. then you can go back into photos and delete the remaining ones. (Remeber if you accidentally deleted a picture you wanted you can recover it by going into recently deleted 30 days before it was removed)
