Why can’t I delete some photos directly from iPhone?Generally, photos shoot via iPhone/iPad/iPod will be saved to Camera Roll of Photos app, which can be deleted directly via the iPhone. However, when syncing photos from computer to iPhone via iTunes or third-party tools(such as FoneTool), they will be saved to Photo Library, which can’t be deleted directly on the iPhone. If you want to delete photos from Photo Library, you can sync an empty folder from computer to the device via iTunes, so it will overwrite Photo Library with the empty folder to indirectly delete all photos.
