I never asked my phone to take burst shots. But it does. Now I get alerts from Verizon that it have 500 mb of burst shots. I want to delete them all and just keep the one shot. Is there a way to bulk delete all burst shots while keeping the single photo?

Are you attempting to delete them from the native gallery app, or a 3rd party Verizon service? Do you want to continue taking burst shots?

1) from the native gallery app

2) no I never want to take burst shots. I very much dislike them.

Ah, alrighty! When you select the burst shot photo, there should be a number in the bottom left hand corner to represent the number of pictures in it. If you tap that, you can select which pictures you want to delete and which to keep. To turn burst shot off, go to your Settings cog top left of your camera app. There will be an option for "Swipe shutter button," unfortunately there is no way to turn this off completely. The only other option is "create .gif"
