How can I delete photos uploaded by Dropbox?

Dropbox uploaded 26,000 photos from my phone. How do I delete them without deleting all my other drop box items I want to keep ? Have now adjusted the settings. Drop box is full

    Thanks, so you were using the camera upload feature.

     

    This means that the images would be located in the Camera Uploads folder, which can be accessed via the mobile app, desktop folder, or the site itself. 

     

    You can delete the folders from there in order to free up space on your account.
