Question

After importing, how do I delete all the photos on my iPhone?

I just imported all my photos into LR 4 and would like to delete them from my phone.

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks

The delete iPhone photos is not difficult , but how to avoid the data recovery after deleted is so complex , because you don't know whether the messages has been permanently removed on iPhone , perhaps , the deleted message can be easy back with some recovery tool ,

You can try iPhone data eraser program to delete all photos on your iPhone easily on PC. You're enabled to select any erasing modes according to your own needs.

Hi, if you need to delete them permanently, I think you can use an ios data eraser,  which can help you delete them all, and no one can recover them with data recovery programs.

You just need to the photos and choose the photo that you want to delete, and then click it. If you delete it wrong photos, you can use a recovery software to get it back.

If you want to delet the photos forever, I suggest iphone data eraser, if you just want to clear them to keep more space, just use iphone data clear tools.

Any professional recovery tool can retrieve those encrypted photos easily. So, there is any effective way to permanently erase some unwanted photos from your iPhone.

The most secure way is using professional third-party software like iPhone Data Eraser, which is a reliable and effective tool to smash photos and other personal data.

But as the iPhone won't let you delete them until you select them individually, you might find it easier whilst the iPhone is connected to your computer to use the computer's file manager (Finder or Explorer) to do it.

How would I get the iphone's photos to show up without using iTunes?

I was hoping LR would be able to delete like Aperture but can understand why it won't of course.

Is there a way to bypass deleting each photo manually on the phone itself?

I use Image Capture (comes with the Mac) to delete the photographs on my iPhones.

Use the iPhone to do it.  LR won't do it for you.
