Iphone, Ipod, Ipad: Can't Delete Photos? Not Deletable? Super Easy!

If you have photos or videos on your iOS device that you cannot delete it is because you have synced those albums with a computer that had those photos and videos. When you try to delete it you may not have any trash bin, or you do have a trash bin but it is grayed out. Either way I show you how to remove these. The only way to do this is though iTunes. Just go to any computer with iTunes and follow my steps. Also, when you remove these photos and videos you will gain more storage on your iOS device. You can view how much space you have before and after this procedure.

I hope this video was useful to you. I appreciate any subs. Cheers!

2023 and a 6 years old video still works! You are a life savior, i have been trying to remove these photos for years now👌🏻👌🏻

Damn, I spent an absurd amount of time looking through the iTunes menus trying to delete those photos, and all I had to do was just change the sync folder to an empty one? I find it surprising to see how much Apple is over-complicating things, just let me delete those damn photos ffs!
Great video, thanks!!

YOU ARE A LIFESAVER!! I spent about 4 hours trying everything and following ever tutorial to no avail. You video fixed my issue in the time it took me to watch the video. This is 4 years old, but you are still helping people with this one. Stay awesome!

2023 almost 2024 and iOS 17 and this method still works. Although the new Mac’s no longer have iTunes, the procedure is the same through Finder. Thank you man!

[linwood]

It’s simply “ amazing” that I can’t delete anything without leaving the app and all the things I deleted are still there WOW and I just think they need better service and it is just incredible how bad the system is

THANK YOU! I had so many videos clogging up my iPad, and I couldn't make sense of any other 'helpful instructions' I found online. I watched this video, and a few minutes later I've deleted the lot - and freed up SO much space. Superstar! :)

I did this and when the folder disappeared... I. WAS. IN. SHOCK. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me remove the 32 10-second long videos I was unable to delete.

[jesselee]

Thank you so much for this. I have been trying to delete some pictures for a long time and I could never figure it out. Now they are all gone and I couldn’t be happier! Thank you :)

[mcrcchampion]

I just want to thank you man for helping us users who didn't know what to do. Honestly, that was such a huge help!

[michaelmaddock]

I have been trying for 6 years to get rid of a lot of pictures taken at a wedding. Thank you for showing me this fix. It worked for me, now I have some room on my ipad. I am no fan of I Tunes so installed it just to make this work.

[Akshay]

Updated: Still works in 2022.
On: iOS 15.
Thank You.

It's amazing that a 7-year-old video still works on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. It only takes 2 minutes to fix.. Thank you very much!

[NahidAktaryafi]
