Yes we can delete a photo. We can use PHAssetChangeRequest for this operation.

From Apple:

A request to create, delete, change metadata for, or edit the content of a Photos asset, for use in a photo library change block.

class func deleteAssets(_ assets: NSFastEnumeration)

where assets: An array of PHAsset objects to be deleted.

PHAssetChangeRequest.deleteAssets([assetToDelete])

So, you could use the above code to delete assets.

below is swift 3 code,

PHPhotoLibrary.shared().performChanges({
            let imageAssetToDelete = PHAsset.fetchAssets(withALAssetURLs: imageUrls as! [URL], options: nil)
            PHAssetChangeRequest.deleteAssets(imageAssetToDelete)
        }, completionHandler: {success, error in
            print(success ? "Success" : error )
        })
