Managing your photo albums on your iPhone Camera Roll is a crucial task for keeping your photos organized and freeing up storage space. If you want to delete an album on your iPhone Camera Roll, you can do so with just a few simple steps. Whether you have created an album with duplicate photos, or you simply want to remove an album that you no longer need, this guide will walk you through the process.
To delete an album on your iPhone Camera Roll, start by opening the “Photos” app on your device. Tap on the “Albums” tab located at the bottom of the screen. This will display all the albums you have created on your iPhone Camera Roll.
Next, locate the album you want to delete and tap on it to open it. Once the album is open, look for the “Edit” button in the top-right corner of the screen. Tap on the “Edit” button to enter the editing mode for the album.
While in edit mode, you will see a red circle icon with a white minus sign next to each photo in the album. To delete the album, tap on the red circle icon next to each photo to select them. Once you have selected all the photos you want to delete, tap on the “Delete” button located at the bottom-right corner of the screen.
After tapping on “Delete,” a confirmation pop-up will appear asking if you want to delete the selected photos. If you are sure you want to delete the album and its photos, tap on the “Delete Photos” button. The album and its contents will be permanently deleted from your iPhone Camera Roll.
While deleting an album on your iPhone Camera Roll removes the album and its photos from the default view, it’s important to note that the deleted photos can still be found in your “Recently Deleted” album for a period of 30 days. To completely free up storage space, make sure to delete the photos from your “Recently Deleted” album as well.
