4 photos on my iPhone which cannot be edited or deleted using Photos
If I select them all, trashcan is grayed out
If I select 1, message appears "this photo is not editable" and the only option available is to duplicate and edit a copy
I can hide the photos and they are not large files but this seems like an inadequate solution

Hello andrewfromeast wareham!
Looks like you are trying to remove some photos from your device and running into some issues. We are here to help! If those photos were synced to the device from iTunes or Finder, then you will need to disable that sync to remove them. This article goes into detail: Sync your photos manually using the Finder.
Cheers!

Thanks SnickZ - this solved my problem EVENTUALLY. By the time I realized I did not want to sync 30K photos from my MacBook to my iPhone the only way I could figure to stop it was to literally pull the plug. By that time I had transferred 1,200 photos. The photos app on my iPhone showed that it was still syncing, so I could not just delete them and it took some time for me to figure out how to "negatively sync" those 1,200 photos but apparently I did (not sure I could describe). Still, grateful for the advice.
