How to get photos off an iPhone

    Not transfer them to the computer, but remove them. I'm trying to carry a document, and found instructions online for turning it into a photo, putting it into iPhoto (shudder - what a kludgy app), and thence to the iPhone.

    This didn't work - his instructions meant that whichever way I turned the iPhone the document was upside down. Now I can't see how to get rid of the blasted thing.

    When you are viewing the photo, there should be a bin icon on the bottom-right hand corner. Tap on that and it will delete the photo.

    There is one in Camera Roll, but not in the other 'album' (with one photo) that the horrid iPhotos created for each of the two photos I added to it on my computer, and thence to my iPhone.

    When these 'albums' arrive on the phone, they are independent republics with their own rules; no trashing is one.

    When you synch your iPhone - it looks for folders you have specified to find images to place in folders on the device. ("Sync photos from:" - under the Photo section within iTunes with your phone connected)

    Although you cannot delete on the iPhone, you can simply remove the images/folders from within the directory you have specified, and re-syncing removes them.

    Works for me anyway!

    Thanks, Dades, that worked, though iPhoto is pretty weird the way its folders appear and disappear.
