How do I delete photos from my phone after I’ve backed up on my PC?

Hi. I’ve backed up photos From my iPhone 6+ to my PC before getting my battery changed. Now I can’t delete theses photos from my phone. They said I have to delete them via my PC. When I connected my iPhone to iTunes I couldn’t find the photos to delete. They do t seem to connect despite wifi is on. Please help!

The second part is about syncing photos with iTunes. Unmarking the album, that contain the photos on the computer, will remove them from the phone, after you synced the device again.
