Will I just be able to plug my phone into my parents computer and remove those pics that are down as albums? or would I need to back it up and restore my iphone to remove those pics?
I'm sorry, I'm not really sure what you're asking, are the pics on your phone or on your exs computer? You can delete directly off the phone (or restore, but seems a little unnecessary). If they're on your exs computer you'll probably need physical access to delete them.
I've got wedding pics and days out on my iphone and want to remove them...not bothered they are still on the mac as i won't access them but want to remove the pics on my phone as it's not great to see those pics when i have a new girlfriend lol

Just delete them from your phone.
Understood... The easiest way(s) to do this are to either:
Open your photo album on the phone. Press the little curved arrow to select multiple pics, do so, and press delete.
Or
Connect your phone to your computer. Open Image Capture (if on a Mac). Your phone will be displayed under devices. Select the pictures you want to delete and press Delete on the lower menu bar.
Plug your phone into your home comp and sync your photos. It will delete photos that aren't on that comp.
only thing is apps won't come onto my device from my parents computer will they? i know that happened before on the mac. guessing if i havn't used my iphone on the computer that it would just be registered as a new phone? and stuff won't be added onto it?
Oh I got it. Can you sync only photos on your parent's computer?
Where's your computer?
Like I said, you should be able to do this on a mac with image capture. Your phone won't be restored without direct interaction from you on the computer and image capture operates separately, will not wipe the phone no matter what comp you plug it into.
havn't got one. Would need to use my parents computer. The mac is now at my ex's. So wasn't sure if i could delete albums if i couldn't access the mac to delete them.

don't have a mac, thats at my ex's...would just use my parents computer to see if i could delete those photos. wasn't sure if you could without restoring.
So let me get this straight: the Mac is at your ex's place and is now your ex's property?
How do you know she hasn't already deleted those items?
The process to get rid of them on the phone is detailed in this thread.

Where's your computer?
If he just got divorced, he probably can't afford to have his own computer. That's why he's back at his parents.

restore the phone then back-up from icloud?
Don't really need one with an ipad and iphone but wanted to know if i use their computer those albums can be removed.
Basically... your phone is synced with the ex's Mac. The iPhone will not let you remove Album pics from the iPhone (stupid limitation BTW).
Only 2 ways to do it.
1. Sync with another computer. This will remove anything that you synced from that computer... pictures, music, videos, apps...
So... while it would get rid of photos, it would get rid of all photo albums... and any synced music that you might enjoy currently.
or
2. IF YOU HAVE iCLOUD...
Go to Settings>General>Reset
and choose "Erase all Content & Settings (Only if you are on iOS 5 or higher).
This will erase everything and you will be back to setup the iPhone and restore your iCloud backup. All of your settings, camera roll, messages and apps will return, but all music, & album photos will be gone.
