How do I use Lightroom to cull images and then delete the unwanted files from my iPads

I'm struggling to figure out how to use Lightroom on my iPad to pick out the images that I want, then delete the images I do not want from files on the iPad.

I can delete them from Lightroom and Lightroom albums. But how do I delete them

from the folder on my iPad?

Lightroom can directly access the iPad 'Photos' and delete images from there if you tap on 'Device' at the bottom left. Then tap the three dots in the upper right corner to get to "Select". Once you have selected one or more images, you will see a trash button at the bottom right that you can use to delete the images from Photos.

Looking to deleat raw files that are stored in the files "on my iPad".

I know how to import them in to Lightroom. I can do the culling there, but then how do I erase the raw files from the iPad that I do not want? I can erase them from an Lightroom album, but I want to erase the raw files in "on my iPad"

How do I do that?

To delete imported photos from Lightroom, delete them from 'All Photos'. "On my iPad" is something in the iOS Files app, not in Lightroom for iPad.
