As an app developer, I take a lot of screenshots of my iPad. This tends to clutter up my photo albums, since screenshots are stored in the same place as photos. Luckily, it's pretty easy to delete photos from the iPad.

• First, go into your Photos app.  If you don't know where your Photos app is located, you can launch it quickly by using Spotlight Search or you can use Siri by saying "Launch Photos".

• Next, choose the Albums tag.  The Camera Roll album contains all of your photos, but if you've moved the photo into a custom album, it will be easier to find through that album.  
• Tap the photo you want to delete. This will bring the photo up in full screen mode. From here, you simply tap the trashcan in the lower right corner of the screen. If you don't see a trashcan button, tap the middle of the screen to bring up the title bar.
• When you tap the trash can, a window will come up with a Delete Photo option.  After you tap the link, the photo will be moved to the Recently Deleted album.

Do you need to remove photos from the Recently Deleted album?

The Recently Deleted album allows you to restore a photo if you made a mistake.  Photos in the recently deleted album will be purged from the iPad 30 days after they were deleted.  Normally, it is fine to leave a photo in this album.  But if you really need the storage space on your iPad or you really need the photo deleted immediately, you can delete the photo from this special album just as you would any photo from any album.

 Once it is deleted from the Recently Deleted album, the photo is gone permanently.

Did you know you can delete multiple photos from your iPad at the same time? This can be a great tool if you are like me and take dozens of photos trying to get that one great shot. It's also a great time-saving technique if you need to clear out a lot of space on your iPad and have hundreds of photos loaded on it.

• Once you launch the Photos app, choose the Albums tab.  If you are not sure of the album, the Camera Roll album contains all of your photos.  

• Next, tap the Select button at the top right corner of the screen. 
• After you tap the Select button, you arein multiple select. Simply tapping on a photo will put a blue circle with a check mark on the photo.
• Continue tapping until you have all the photos selected you want to delete, and when you are ready, touch the trashcan at the top of the screen. You will be asked to confirm that you want to delete the selected items, and after confirming, the photos will be deleted from the iPad.

That's it. It's a lot simpler deleting the photos all at once rather than going to each individual photo to delete it.

Remember: The photos are actually moved to the Recently Deleted album.  If you need to purge them immediately, you will need to delete them from the Recently Deleted album.
