Question

i Used the code below to save photos that taken from camera

code:

- (IBAction)saveImage:(id)sender {
    UIImage *viewImage = imageView.image;  // was taken from Camera
    ALAssetsLibrary *library = [[ALAssetsLibrary alloc] init];  
    // Request to save the image to camera roll  
    [library writeImageToSavedPhotosAlbum:[viewImage CGImage] orientation:(ALAssetOrientation)[viewImage imageOrientation] completionBlock:^(NSURL *assetURL, NSError *error){  
        if (error) {  
            NSLog(@"error");  
        } else {  
            NSLog(@"url %@", assetURL); 
            self.imgUrl = assetURL;
        }  
    }];  
    [library release];
}

this is the Log of NSLOG

assets-library://asset/asset.JPG?id=2A72A3FF-1662-4979-8DD7-0F5721C49F81&ext=JPG

Now when im done with the image how to remove it ?

I tried :

 NSFileManager *fileManager = [NSFileManager defaultManager];
[fileManager removeItemAtPath:[self.imgUrl absoluteString]  error:NULL];

but it didnt work
any help will be great

Answer 1

If you don’t plan to save the image to the user’s Photo library permanently, why are you saving the image there initially ?

You should save the image to your application’s sandbox folder and then delete it from there.

You cannot delete images from the Photo Library
