Default How do I delete photographs from an iPad?

This is a problem which touches on digital photograpy and I'm raising
it in the hope that one of the more knowledgeable people here knows
the answer.

Just over two months ago I bought an iPad for the joint use of me and
my wife. I had about two weeks of battle with setting up email
accounts (the damned thing kept changing settings on me) before my
wife set off with it for six weeks overseas. The only thing I managed
to do with photographs was synchronise the iPad with one of the image
directories in my computer.

My wife returned with a swag of photographs copied into the iPad which
she had taken with her camera. The originals remain in her camera. She
had also copied several smaller swags into the iPad which she had
copied from other peoples' cameras. To make matters more complicated
she had edited a considerable number of images in the iPad and wanted
to access the final result for printing

I've now found out how to copy the photographs out of the iPad by
backing up to my computer. What I haven't yet found is an easy way to
delete +1800 images from the "All Imports" folder of the iPad. There
doesn't even seem to be an easy way to select a large number of images
at a time.

Google tells me I'm not the first person to strike this problem and
there are a number of recommended methods on the Internet. A problem
which has emerged is that while my wife was away she accepted the
invitation to upgrade to iOS6 which appears to be slightly different
in it's user interface from the previous versions. Tricks which are
claimed in various forums to make things easier don't seem to exist in
my version of the iPad.

Its not that I'm particularly worried by having to delete +1800 images
one at a time. Its what will happen next that worries me. What happens
when another 5000 images are added? *... then another 3000. Is it
really Apple's intention that the machine fills up until it bursts?

What do I do?
