How to Delete iPhone Photos Synced from Computer

• Recently, my iPhone (5s, 16GB) began complaining
  that it was out of storage. So I went to Settings
  gt General gt Usage and found that Photos was
  taking up 1.8 GB, specifically the Synced from
  Computer category. So I go to Photos, and find
  that I have 2000 photos. So I try to select and
  delete them except I cant. The trash can icon
  is grayed out. A little more research advises me
  to connect my iPhone to my PC, click on the
  iPhone, and then go to Photos and delete them
  from there. Except there arent any photos
  there. Ive used several different PCs and Macs
  over the past year and a half, and the iTunes
  library they were synced from is probably long
  gone. So how do I nuke them?

  so much storage space. When meeting this
