如果您是 iPhone 或iPad用户，您可能已经注意到相机应用中有不少所谓的“相册”。如果您不使用它们或不再希望它们弄乱您的应用程序，您可以删除它们吗？ 

是的！我们会：

• 向您展示^(Show)如何在 iPhone 或 iPad 上删除相册。 
• 帮助^(Help)您了解如果您这样做，您的照片会发生什么。

什么是专辑？

在 iOS 设备上，相册^(Album)是出于某种目的而组合在一起的照片集合。例如，您可以创建一个仅包含您孩子的照片的相册。相册^(Album)可以轻松找到您想要的照片，因为大多数人多年来可能会拍摄数千张照片，这些照片很容易丢失在您的相机胶卷中。

为什么我看到不是我创建的^(Create)专辑^(Albums)？

您不是唯一可以在您的设备上创建相册的人。当您授予应用程序访问相机胶卷的权限时，它还可以创建相册。这通常是一件好事，因为它可以很容易地查看该特定应用程序生成了哪些图像。

许多不同类型的应用程序可能都有创建相册的理由。照片编辑器和社交媒体应用程序^{(social media apps)}是两个明显的例子。如果您不希望某个应用程序弄乱您的相机胶卷，并且认为它没有任何理由需要该权限，请删除或拒绝它。

^(Does)删除相册会删除照片^{(Album Delete Photos)}吗？

删除相册并不会删除其中的照片，因为相册只是整理照片的一种方式。它不像硬盘^{(hard drive)}上的文件夹，而更像是Twitter 上^(Twitter)的标签。您可以在多个相册中拥有相同的照片。

相册^(Albums)不会占用您设备上的空间，因此删除相册不会释放任何存储空间。我们将在本文中进一步解决存储问题并提供更好的解决方案。 

无法删除的相册

在我们完成在 iPhone 或 iPad 上删除专辑的确切步骤之前，您应该知道有些专辑是无法删除的。

简而言之，您可以删除的唯一相册是“我的相册”和“共享相册”下列出的相册。其余的是系统保留的，对于照片^(Photos)应用程序的正常运行至关重要。

如何在 iPhone 或 iPad 上删除相册^(Album)

了解了基本事实，让我们开始实际删除专辑的过程，我们将从 iPad 开始：

1. 打开照片应用程序^{(Photos App)}。
2. 如有必要，选择应用程序左上角的侧边栏按钮以显示侧边栏。^{(sidebar button)}

1. 选择侧边栏右上角的编辑按钮。^{(Edit button)}

1. 在任何带有小红色圆圈和白色破折号的^{(red circle with a white dash in it)}专辑旁边。选择它。

1. 这将显示一个删除按钮。^{(delete button. )}选择它。

1. 如果您确定要删除相册，请选择删除相册^{(Delete Album)}。

这张专辑现在应该从列表中消失了。

现在让我们看一下iPhone上的过程：

1.  打开照片应用程序。^{(Photos App.)}

1. 切换到相册^(Albums)选项卡。

1. 在我的相册^{(My Albums)}下选择查看全部^{(See All)}。

1.  选择屏幕右上角的编辑按钮。^(Edit)

1. 选择要删除的相册左上角的红色删除图标。

1. 选择删除相册^{(Delete Album)}以确认操作。

有问题的专辑现在应该已经消失了。

如何取消订阅共享相册^{(Shared Album)}

^(Think)在删除共享相册之前请三思。相反，您可以选择简单地取消订阅该专辑：

1. 选择您要取消订阅的共享相册。^{(shared album)}

1. 选择应用右上角的家庭共享小图标。^{( family sharing icon)}

1. 选择您自己的用户名^(username)。

1. 选择删除订阅者^{(Remove Subscriber)}。

1. 确认删除。

这将从您的所有设备中删除该相册，但不影响其他订阅用户。 

通过 iCloud 或永久删除节省空间^(Space)

如您所知，删除相册不会为您节省设备上的任何空间。为了减少设备上使用的空间量，您真正拥有的唯一选择是永久删除照片或使用 iCloud 优化设备存储。

删除照片是一个简单的过程：

1. 打开照片^(Photos)。
2. 导航到可以找到照片的您选择的类别，您也可以使用现有相册。

1. 选择，应用程序右上角的选择按钮。^{(Select button)}

1. 选择^(Choose)您要删除的图像，或选择全^{(Select All)}选以选择该类别或相册的全部内容。
2. 选择应用程序右下角的垃圾桶图标。^{(trash can icon)}
3. 现在，选择删除^(Delete)以删除图像。

如果您要从相册中删除照片，您还可以选择将其从相册中删除，但这不会删除图像或释放任何空间。

如果您不想删除图像，可以将它们卸载到iCloud。这会在您的设备上保留一个小预览，并在您查看图像时从您的 iCloud 驱动器下载完整质量的原始图像。

1. 打开设置^(Settings)。
2. 选择您的姓名^{(your name )}> iCloud >照片^{( Photos)}。
3. 选择优化 iPad 存储^{(Optimize iPad Storage)}。

如果您的照片占用了大量空间，您应该会看到在选择优化存储后很快就会释放出来。

最近删除的专辑

这就是您在 iPhone 或 iPad 上删除相册所需了解的全部内容，但如果您在处理过程中不小心删除了您真正想要保留的照片怎么办？好消息是照片应用程序内置了一个安全网。

我们指的是最近删除^{(Recently Deleted)}的专辑，您可以在实用程序^(Utilities)类别下找到它。在这里，您可以选择意外删除的任何照片或视频，然后将其恢复。每个项目都标有永久删除前的剩余天数。 

如果您想立即获得空间，您可能还需要查看此文件夹。当您选择此相册中的任何照片或视频时，您可以选择将其恢复或永久删除。请^(Just)记住，如果您从这张专辑中删除它，它真的永远消失了！

How to Delete Albums on an iPhone or iPad

Іf you’re an iРhone or iPad user, you’ve probably noticed that there are quite a few so-called “Albums” in your camera app. If you don’t use them or no longer want them cluttering up your app, can you delete them? 

Yes! We will:

• Show you how to delete albums on an iPhone or iPad. 
• Help you understand what will happen to your photos if you do.

What Is an Album?

On an iOS device, an Album is a collection of photos grouped together for a purpose. For example, you may create an album only featuring pictures of your children. Albums make it easy to find the photos you want, since most people are likely to take thousands of pictures over the years, which easily get lost in your camera roll.

Why Am I Seeing Albums I Didn’t Create?

You aren’t the only one who can create albums on your device. When you give an app permission to access your camera roll, it can also create albums. This is usually a good thing, since it makes it easy to see which images were generated by that particular app.

Many different types of applications may have a reason to create an album. Photo editors and social media apps are two obvious examples. If you don’t want an app to mess with your camera roll and don’t think it has any reason to need that permission, then remove or deny it.

Does Deleting an Album Delete Photos?

Deleting an album doesn’t delete the photos inside it since an album is just a way to organize photos. It’s not like a folder on a hard drive, instead it’s more like a hashtag on Twitter. You can have the same photos in multiple albums.

Albums don’t take up space on your device, so removing an album won’t do anything to free up storage. We address the storage issue further along in this article and provide better solutions. 

Albums that Can’t Be Deleted

Before we go through the exact steps to delete an album on an iPhone or iPad, you should know that some albums are impossible to delete.

In a nutshell, the only albums that you are allowed to delete are those listed under “My Albums” and “Shared Albums”. The rest are system-reserved and essential for the proper functioning of the Photos app.

How to Delete an Album on iPhone or iPad

With the basic facts out of the way, let’s get down to the actual process of deleting an album, we’ll start off with the iPad:

1. Open the Photos App.
2. If necessary, select the sidebar button at the top left corner of the app to reveal the sidebar.

1. Select the Edit button at the top-right of the sidebar.

1. Next to any album with the little red circle with a white dash in it. Select it.

1. This will reveal a delete button. Select it.

1. If you’re sure you want to delete the album, select Delete Album.

The album should now be gone from the list.

Now let’s look at the process on iPhone:

1.  Open the Photos App.

1. Switch to the Albums tab.

1. Under My Albums select See All.

1.  Select the Edit button at the top right of the screen.

1. Select the red delete icon at the top left corner of the album you want to delete.

1. Select Delete Album to confirm the operation.

The album in question should now be gone.

How to Unsubscribe From a Shared Album

Think twice before deleting a shared album. Instead, you could choose to simply unsubscribe from that album:

1. Select the shared album you want to unsubscribe from.

1. Select the small family sharing icon at the top right corner of the app.

1. Select your own username.

1. Select Remove Subscriber.

1. Confirm the removal.

This will remove the album from all of your devices, but leave it unaffected for other users who are also subscribing. 

Saving Space with iCloud or Permanent Deletion

As you now know, deleting an album won’t save you any space on your device. In order to reduce the amount of space used on your device, the only options you really have are to delete photos permanently or to optimize your device storage with iCloud.

Deleting photos is a straightforward process:

1. Open Photos.
2. Navigate to the category of your choice where the photo can be found, you can also use an existing album.

1. Select, the Select button at the top-right of the app.

1. Choose which images you’d like to delete, or select Select All to choose the entire contents of that category or album.
2. Select the trash can icon at the bottom right of the app.
3. Now, select Delete to remove the image.

If you’re deleting a photo from an album, you also have the choice of removing it from the album, but that doesn’t delete the image or free up any space.

If you don’t want to delete your images, you can offload them to iCloud. This keeps a small preview on your device, and will download the full-quality original image from your iCloud drive when you view the image.

1. Open Settings.
2. Select your name > iCloud > Photos.
3. Select Optimize iPad Storage.

If your photos were taking up a lot of space, you should see that get freed up soon after choosing to optimize storage.

The Recently Deleted Album

That’s all you need to know about deleting albums on an iPhone or iPad, but what if you accidentally deleted a photo in the process that you actually wanted to keep? The good news is that there is a safety net built into the photos app.

We’re referring to the Recently Deleted album, which you’ll find under the Utilities category. Here you can select any photos or videos that you deleted by accident and then recover them. Each item is labeled with the number of days left before it’s permanently deleted. 

You may also want to check out this folder if you want to gain space back immediately. When you select any photo or video in this album, you can choose to either recover it or delete it permanently. Just remember that if you delete it from this album it really is gone for good!
