not sure but these are pictures from Picassa. i dont want to have ti on mobile.
So i cant delete using my mobile? only through PC?
Do you have Picasa picture syncing setup? Go to Settings > Accounts and Sync > Your Google Account. Then check whether 'Sync Picasa Web Albums' is ticked.
yes i have unchecked now. but how do i delete? even if i delte it comes back
If the option is unchecked the Picasa Albums should disappear. I've just tested it with my Picasa account and deleting the pictures on the phone works. Check to see your Picasa Albums account allow deletion of pictures.

That is Picasa pictures sync. To disable, go to Settings->Accounts&Sync->(Enable auto-sync at the top if disabled or you won't be able to uncheck it)->Google->Disable Picture Picasa Sync.
Go back and uncheck Auto-Sync if needed.
If you want to stop seeing them in the Gallery, go to Settings->Apps->Gallery->Delete Data
If needed, you can also go to SdCard->Android->Data and delete the 2 folders containing 3dgallery (com.android.3dgallery and another with similar name).
I just did it before writing it for you

Have you done all the previous steps about disabling Google Picasa Sync and deleting Gallery data in Settings?

I deleted also data from media storage :-(
Is it only me or ...
With "Sync Google Photos" and Sync Picassa Web Albums" activated I still cant sync my camera pictures with google+....
And the only way to make it work is to install Google+ app but then you can see picture twice in Gallery ... (one under camera pictures and the other under Instant upload folder....)
Help would be really appreciated....
What I did so far :
reset phone settings,
wipe dalvik
tried to sync with another account
tried over wifi
Sync report ok.... I have no clue !!!!
Thats how mine is. I just delete the camera photos after they sync.
Google + just uses the instant upload to put them in your private web folder. Having the sync enabled allows the phone to download those photos from your web albums and allows you to manually upload when you want. I dont think its for auto uploading like google +

So basically you mean that there is no way to sync camera photos without using Google+ app ?
I thought I could with my previous Galaxy Note... I dont understand what the "Sync Google photo" is for then....

As far as I know, not automatically. You can always go to the gallery, hold the camera folder and sync the whole album manually to wherever you want.
the link is broken on the google support site, but it use to read this:
Android 4.0 devices have a system setting that allows you to Sync Google Photos.
This setting enables syncing of your Google Photos from your web albums to your device's Gallery app. As a result, if you have a large number of photos in your web albums that have been uploaded through Picasa Web Albums or Google+, you may notice a high amount of battery or data usage during this sync.
This setting also enables or disables sync for Instant Uploads to Google+. However, to enable Instant Upload, you must enable Sync Google Photos as well as enable Instant Upload within the Google+ app

I am having trouble with background data usage from the 'Gallery' app. I think it is related to videos uploading when I'm off of wifi. In settings / accounts / gmail - I had instant upload on, and then in G+ I had to sync photos and videos only when on wifi and only when charging, but it's still using network data to background sync... and I have droidwall installed and 'gallery' is not one of the apps I white listed for network data.
Any ideas? for now I turned off background data since it didn't seem to affect any regular use of the phone and it does block the gallery app. Seems like there are quite a few options in the gmail accounts as far as photos go so not sure what they all do or what I should bother with. I do know that on my SGS, SGS2 this background usage wasn't happening and I had things setup then like I do now.
UPDATE: CONFIRMED. CLEARING DATA (Settings -> Apps -> All -> Picasa -> Clear Data) DOES NOT DELETE ANY OTHER PICTURES ON YOUR INTERNAL OR EXTERNAL SD. = SAFE. IT JUST GETS RID OF PICASA ALBUM.
*** Also make sure you un-sync Picasa albums or it'll obviously come back. ***
When you initially sync your gmail account (from the very very beginning when you first get the phone) there's no option to select what to sync and what not to sync...
So although I go to "Settings" -> "Accounts and Sync" to un-check the albums, it (Picasa) still shows up in my Gallery...
How do I get rid of Picasa albums from showing up in my gallery?

Go into the list of apps and clear data from Gallery.
If you have sync turned off, it won't come back into your Gallery.
I just tried it now. Warning though, I do not have Google+ set up on my phone, which may or may not do some funny things to your Gallery.

^This + reboot.
Thanks for the reply.
By clearing the data it'll rid all the pics including the non Picasa ones....
Do you know how to just delete the Picasa albums?

u have to remove google+
Clearing data from the Gallery does not clear all pics off your phone. I have my pics safely stored on the SD card.
there are some folders in my gallery that i cannot open nor delete and it shows that there are no pics in them but still take up like 83 mb. This started happening the first time i connected my phone to the computer and when i reconnect it, the folders dissapear until i take a pictur then all three folders reappear. here is what it looks like
Those are shared folders from other devices connected to the same wifi router.
Also, Phil Dunphy rules!
I have something similar, I have 5 photo's uploaded to pacasa, but always show up in my album, I dont have a pacasa account, and it won't allow me to delete.
anyone know how to get rid of it.

Access your Gmail account from your PC (or even the browser on the desktop settings). Go into settings and disable or delete Picasa from there.

I can't find anything in settings related to picasa, do you know where abouts in settings.
I think i'm toast but would like to confirm before giving up:
SPECS:
Google Galaxy Nexus phone
UNrooted
Jellybean 4.1.2
I accidentally deleted an entire album of photos instead of just one photo.
I look in SETTINGS >> ACCOUNTS and list two:
'me'@gmail.com
'me'@yahoo.com
The gmail account has NO syncing set up... the Yahoo account appears to be set to sync everything. (although it's possible i just turned this on when i discovered my previous mistake, as i was in such a panic i can't remember anymore, but there are times for other items synced earlier than today which leads me to believe it may have been set to sync all along)
I went to google.com/dashboard for the [email protected] account and there is a link to a gallery, but when i go to the link it states that the gallery has no public albums.
Is my album recoverable at all or is this just a lesson learned which will hopefully save me from a future disaster?
Thank you.

Have you tried to change your partage option? Set the albums at public, or something like that?
And when you are in the gallery, there is the mesage saying the gallery has no public albums, but can you connect you at this moment for see private albums?

I don't see anything to change the setting from 'private' --> 'public', but no, i can't see any of the albums when logged in as myself.
As well, if i go to GOOGLE >> SETTINGS >> Export Data and try to 'Download your Picasa Web Albums photos' it shows 0 files, 0B.
If you could direct me to the correct settings i'll give it a try (but i guess it's not looking too good at the moment).
Thanks.

You speak about download Picasa Web Albums in Google, but is there the same option for Yahoo Gallery? For example, in settings of your Yahoo account, can you download your photos?

Just download this from play store to recover deleted files, IF they had not been overwritten
