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

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

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.

On Windows the iPhone shows up just like any other device (disk, media card, etc) and can thus be managed in the same way using Windows Explorer....the Camera Roll appears just like a Folder, so all contents can be mutli-selected and deleted in one go. I would have thought the same would apply with Finder.

You don't have to delete the photos one by one on the iPhone, but you do have to select them one by one as there is no multi-select capability on the iPhone as there is in Finder/Explorer. Once selected, however, all can be deleted with one delete command.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 ,
