Synchronize again with fewer (or no) photos selected.

That is, repeat the sync process, but this time select only one album (maybe an empty album).

Deletion of synchronised pictures (from MacBook to Iphone) all in once on Iphone Good Morning, I have the following issue. I got an used MacBook, which still contained pictures from someone else (within the photo folder). By singing in with my AppleID all of those pictures were automatically (without notice) synchronized with my IPhone. Hence, all of these pictures are now on my phone (randomly over the years). I don't want to have them on my phone tho since they are from a different person and take a lot of storage(14.000 pictures, 2000 videos). I tried to delete these pictures on the MacBook and hoped it would synch with the IPhone, but the pictures are still there. Does anyone know how to delete those picture all in ones from my phone without the need of going through all of them step by step? Already looking forward to your answers!! Best Saskia

Saving and Deleting photos (Background) I was at a concert and took many pictures. My storage was getting full so I deleted them and recovered them once I got home. I Airdropped all my pictures to my MacBook and want to delete these pictures on my Iphone, as my photos is taking up over 21GB with 1,000 pictures. I was deleting the photos I on my phone to save space but by deleting the pictures deletes on my MacBook. How do I delete the photos from my phone without it affecting my Mac? And is possible to do this just for these specific photos and then it can carry on syncing to my Mac from my phone in future?
