I don't like my photos uploading to picasa but forgot to disable sync when I setup my phone. Now I got a bunch of my photos online. Which I dislike. How the heck do I delete them from the online web album?

Just Flash It !!!
Go into Manage Applications in Settings and wipe data and clear cache for your Gallery app. Then make sure your picasa sync is turned off.

Hey, today, when trying to share some of my photos to Picasa, I stumbled on theproblem. I can select Picasa, but then, "Add Google account" screen appears. I logged in, but then it said that this accound already exists on this phone.
Also, I dont see Picasa option in Google account syncing in Settings, therefore no picasa pics in gallery. How to make Picasa work on my phone, especially sharing?
I can upload using JustPictures app, but I would rather use system Gallery app.
Thanks..
I had the same problem....and i was already using my gmail account.
Dunno why...but i solved rebooting the phone. I found also an app "picasa tool" that is much better, is free if you want to try
Rebooting didn't solve anything.. But PicasaTool is great, better than JustPictures, as I can share directly from gallery thanks

Did you try removing your account and readding it? This may a little extreme but you could try a factory data reset too.
Good luck

But I only need to clear the data from my gallery, I didn't for G+
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.
hi friends
i am with omega V39
anybody knows how can i remove picassa alguns from photo gallery ?
If I remember correctly, uncheck the picassa sync option in google account then wipe data for gallery in apps menu. You might wanna copy your pictures somewhere safe coz I can't remeber if the photos stay. I'm pretty sure they did but you don't wanna take risks.
