Believe it or not, there are likely to be duplicates of your photos stored somewhere in iPhoto — some visible and some hidden.

According to Tenor Share, there are three ways you can go about deleting photos in iPhoto on your iPhone. One of them is to delete them in bulk — manually. It may take a few extra minutes out of your day, but once you get rid of these photos you’ll free up serious storage and it will be all worth it.


Here’s how:


Step 1: Find out photos app in your iPhone and open this application.

Step 2: Select the duplicate photos you want to delete by tapping "Select" in the upper-right corner.

Step 3: Tap all of the photos you want to remove and press Trash icon to delete iPhone pictures in bulk.

If handling your photos manually sounds like a huge inconvenience, no worries: there are free programs that can help you with that.

Using this cleaning program is also as simple as following three steps:


Step 1: Run the program and connect iPhone to computer via a USB cable. Click "Files Manager" on the interface. Click "Photos" as the target file type.

Step 2: Then you can see all the photos listed according to the date. Select those you don't need and then click "Delete" to move out the photos.

Step 3. Choose the duplicate photos and then press "Delete" button to delete.


Clearing our duplicate photos and photos and videos you don’t need is one of the best steps you can take to make your phone run better. Be sure to back up your photos regularly and then delete, delete, delete to make space for more photos and data.
