How to Delete Albums on iPhone & iPad

When you create a photo album in the Photos app on your iPhone, you can delete it from your iPhone. The only iPhone photo albums you can’t delete are Apple’s stock albums, such as the Favorites album and People album. You can, however, delete the Hidden photos album by removing all the photos from it.

1. Open the Photos app.
   
   
    
2. Tap the Albums tab at the bottom of the screen, then tap See All next to My Albums. 
   
   
    
3. Tap Edit at the top-right corner of the screen.
   
   
    
4. To delete a photo album, tap the red circle in the corner of the album.​
