How can I clear photos from an iPhone?
First, make sure what you're seeing is actually Camera Roll and not Photo stream.


Tap Settings > General > Usage.
Wait for the "Storage" section at the top to populate (can take a
while).
Tap "Photos &amp; Camera".
Tap "Camera Roll".


This will display the usage for each section. If it's Photo Stream then you have your answer. If it's actually the Camera Roll re-populating then you should check iTunes and make sure that "Sync Photos from" is unchecked.



If it was checked, uncheck it and do a sync again. That should clear it out.
