The reason is that almost all iOS have the same method of deleting photos. So, here, I will explain the general method to you. Before that, let me answer a common question:
Why are the photos still on my device after deleting the album?
When you make a new album and insert the selected photos into it, it does not mean that you placed, moved or copied the photos in it. In fact, you have to make a graphical shortcut through the album, the photo representation. So when you delete an album, only the representation (i.e. the organizational structure) is reduced, while the original is still in the phone’s main library/storage. This is the answer to your question, even after deleting the album, the material is still there.
Also, keep in mind that you cannot delete default albums, such as:
- Panorama
- recent
- slow motion
- screenshot
- video
- Recently deleted etc.
