i can’t delete photos from my iphone

my iphone 13 pro max is nearly full, and that’s because i transferred nearly 3 year’s worth of photos and videos from a computer to my phone. when i scroll back to try to delete them, there’s no delete button. does anyone know any way that i can delete the photos off my phone?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

You would still delete the photos from the phone using the instructions in my previous reply. If you sync photos again and the photos are no longer on the computer, they will delete from the phone.


If the photos on the phone are your only copy and you want to first recover them before deleting them from the phone, there may be 3rd party programs that will do that. One possibility (I'm not certain) is Photosync: https://www.photosync-app.com/home.html
