Note that if you have connected the device to the computer and perform a sync to get the photo onto the iPad, then you will need to delete that sync photo on iTunes and resync them to remove it from the iPad.

Some people have gotten very frustrating as to why some photos could not be deleted directly on the iPad but they have to do it via iTunes. Not sure why Apple design such a terrible interface like that. But the answer is you have to delete ot via iTunes and then resync it.

  • Steve  - Does not work
    This simply does not work on iPad2. There is no "save photos" option following the above instructions.

    Did you select the Album views button. Selecting the Album views should give you the option to select Saved Photos.

    Han's try to remove it using iTunes.
  • Chris Gringe  - Depends on what kind of photo
    The delete button only shows up for photos that you took with your ipad2. If the photos was downloaded from an email or sync'd from your iTunes account, then you have to attach your iPad2 to your computer and delete the photos through iTunes (or whatever folder you have iTunes syncing to).
