The camera roll is easy as there is a delete sign but in photo library there is no way of deleting.

Please help.

    When you sync photos from your computer to your iPhone you will automatically get that album named Photo Library in your Photos app. This isn’t an album, but a complete list of all of the synced photos on your iPhone. You cannot delete them on the iPhone itself only on the computer, i googled the steps for you.
    PC
    1) On my PC desktop, I right clicked and created a new folder. I named it "Empty folder".
    2) I plugged in my phone to computer, opened iTunes.
    3) Clicked on my phone on the left
    4) Clicked on "photos" on the top
    5) Clicked the box "Sync Photos with"
    6) Choose the dropdown and "choose folder"
    7) Click "desktop" option
    8) Click on the folder that you created and named whatever you named it.
    9) Click "apply/sync"
    MAC
    1. Connect your iPhone to your Mac.
    2. Open Preview.
    3. File menu>>>>Import From (iPhone Name).
    4. Select which photos you want to delete. On the left of the window at the bottom there will be a red delete symbol.

    This will work.

    The biggest clue was that you bought an iPhone.
