Deleting photos from your iPhone that are not in the camera roll can be a bit tricky, as these photos may be stored in different albums or synced from other devices. However, with the right steps, you can easily remove these unwanted photos and free up space on your device.
One way to delete photos not in the camera roll is to go to the “Albums” tab in the Photos app and look for the specific album where the photos are stored. From there, you can select the photos you want to delete and then tap on the trash can icon to remove them.
Another method is to connect your iPhone to a computer and use a file management tool to access and delete the photos directly from the device’s storage. This can be useful if the photos are not visible in the Photos app but are still taking up space on your iPhone.
