Photos in "Photo Library" folder undeleteable?

[Spokendisease]

Okay so I googled this very same question, but I have something happen that I guess others didn't get blessed with.

I had an iphone 3G and added a folder of pics to it from my computer. I never had the photo library thing happen to my iphone. It was just the camera roll then the folder named "Melissa". But, then, my nephew decided he wanted to hide my iphone and then forget where he put it, after 2 days of trying to find my beloved iphone and not being able to locate it, I relunctly went out and bought another one. Well, while trying to add the pics back on, it did add the folder or album titled "Photo Library" and it was annoying to see all the same pics again. I'm wondering why my first iphone didn't do this but the second one did? I would have noticed the dumb little sunflower on the first one and it would have annoyed me then as well. Now I wish I still had the old one.

Ok. the only way to get rid of it is through Syncing on itunes... go to your photos tabs through itunes for the iphone. Sync/choose your folder. if you dont wanna any pictures at all just click sync. but dont check off any folders

ok, i have a new twist on this issue. i have an iphone that i have synced with different PCs. I have some pics on my phone that are no longer on my pc and i want to delete said photos but they have no trashbin. When i connect to itunes, these albums don't show up.

Is there something I can do about this, since I don't have a full backup of my iphone (hd crash on previous PC)? I use both PCs and Macs and would be open to solutions for both.

I know this is an old post, but I thought I would put my 2 cents in. I just installed a free application called Roll Swap. It allows you to swap the current camera roll with a different one. You can back up your photos how ever you want to, click and drag (pc) or iphoto (mac) swap the roll with the app and delete the application. When you delete the application, all data gets deleted with it. Make sure you have a copy of the photos you want to keep before you get rid of the application.

Nice tip. Works for the camera roll but not for the photo library though..

I have a similar problem where I copied some photos from my pc directly to my iPhone via my computer. These photos aren't in my camera roll because I deleted all photos off my camera roll so it's empty but I still have these 10 pic in the library folder and there's no delete and it doesn't show them now when I navigate to my computer. Any ideas? Tempted to do a full factory reset and restore from backup.
