    Hi there.
    I'm having an issue with photos and am hoping someone can help.
    I'm running really low on space and have just discovered that my photos are using up a ton of space. I'm really confused though by what's there and I can't seem to get anywhere with a view to cleaning it out.
    I have 5 albums described as Camera Roll,Videos,Iphone Pics,My Pictures(28 from MyComputer) and Photostream(591 from MyComputer)
    Those last two has a mishmash of pictures from the pictures folder on my PC(which I used to sync my iphone),photos that have actually been deleted from my iphone and a mixture of all the folders. It's really bizarre.
    When I take a photo it goes into Camera Roll and there is a Trashcan icon there to delete it if I want. This is fine. All I want to be able to do is take a photo, delete it if I don't want to keep it and every so often save the photos that I have kept to an external hard disc drive or to Dropbox.
    I have Photostream turned off but can anyone please tell me how to delete the albums that have strangely appeared?
    Thanks!

    Probably the photo stream albums are not on your device but reflecting what was uploaded from the computer.

    They probably aren't using any space as you are just seeing what is in the cloud. Go into airplane mode and see if you can still see them. As for deleting them I don't use photo stream but as far as I know that is possible in iOS 7.

    OP:

    Firstly can you give us some information ? And there is nothing 'bizarre' about the iOS. If you have stuff on the phone then you put it there at some stage.
    - What iOS ? What iPhone ?
    - You say you have PhotoStream turned of, yet you say you see PhotoStream in your photos app ? This is not possible.
    - When you open the "Photos" app, if you have PhotoStream turned off then you should only see two items at the bottom of the screen, "Photos" and Albums". There should be no PhotoStream album either.
    - Please go to settings/Photo&Camera and make sure PhotoStream is actually off.
    -Connect iPhone to iTunes and look at the bottom of the window where there is a coloured bar showing how much space is taken up by photos, apps, music etc. What are the numbers ?
