Delete all photos from iPad

In just a few steps you can delete all photos from your iPad at the same time. A few simple steps in the settings of the Apple tablet are sufficient. We show you how it works.

Remove all photos from iPad

1. Start the "Settings" app on the home screen of your iPad.
2. Select the "General" menu item.
3. Activate the "Use" tab.
4. Information about the iPad storage is displayed here. A list also shows you which apps take up how much storage space. Select "Photo & Camera" here.
5. You will then see the three categories "recordings", "photo library" and "photo stream". Select the desired line and slide your finger from left to right. The red "Delete" button now appears. If you press it, all images in the respective category will be deleted.

Delete all photos on iOS 8

With the latest iOS version (iOS 7) you can unfortunately no longer remove all your photos in this way. This is only possible if you connect your iPad to iPhoto and import your pictures. After that, an option appears that you can use to delete all pictures on the iPad. On the other hand, you can only select your pictures individually on your tablet and then delete all selected pictures at the same time:

1. To do this, open the "Photos" app on your iPad.
2. Select the album you want.
3. Here you select the option "Select" in the top right corner and mark all photos. Then tap the trash can icon in the top left to remove your pictures.

This procedure works in the same way on the iPhone and iPod touch. You can find out more about Apple's photo stream in this practical tip.
