iPhone wont delete photos
My iPhone wont delete photos or videos. When I do they all appear back again within a few minutes. Even when I empty the "recently deleted" album they appear back again. What do I need to do?
iPhone 5c, iOS 10

Probably you have synced these Photos from your Mac/PC though iTunes. Un-sync then they be gone.

I use a PC with iTunes on. When I open iTunes it syncs music with my phone connected by USB cable. But I can’t find anything in the iTunes menus about unsyncing photos. I have tried removing my iPhone from the list of authorised devices in iTunes but this has no effect on the photos situation.
If you can delete them, but they reappear after some time, try disabling Photo Stream and sign out/in to iCloud if you use iCloud Photo Library.
Thank you Frank. I tried your suggestion and it seems to have worked. Thank you so much for your help.
Best wishes
