[Q] Facebook gallery sync,.

How do i delete the photos that were synced from my facebook? i try to select them but the only option i get is slideshow

Delete the Facebook app and reinstall it. When you load it for the first time there will be an option to sync albums, just uncheck it and you are good to go. I had the same problem and figured it out about 10 minutes ago.

might be able to simply "clear data" instead of uninstalling.

Clear data didn't work for me.

You can go into setting then accounts. And on your facebook account you have the options to sync contacts and sync pictures just uncheck picks

I see on you screen shot that the Facebook picture holders are there but no pics. I would say that's more an account problem with Facebook. Re set the face book app permissions.

What is this App

What is "cloudagent" as it is taking up 2.4 gb of storage and can I delete it..?

It is related to the gallery app, clear it by going to settings, apps, all apps and clear data in galery.. You can disable it and use quick pick from Play.

It's Dropbox sync. Had the same problem initially, it decided everything in my Dropbox should be saved for offline viewing. Check your sync settings.

I Also had the same problem, I worked out that when I had drop box uploading every photo I took, it also kept a copy of it, so it was using double the amount of space on the phone, I was told of an app called dropsnap, it uploads the photos you take but doesn't keep a store of them. Its a great app and there is a free trial on the market.

Facebook albums in Stock Gallery Problem

Hi All
Right let me try to explain, my facebook albums are showing in the my stock gallery, but my facebook mobile upload album is not syncing correctly. when i go into my facebook app i see that there are 147 photos in the album, yet when i look in the stock gallery it only shows 122, i have logged out of the facebook app and then logged back in, i have tried re-syncing about 5 times but yet it still wont show the correct amount, yet if i look at other apps that show my facebook albums, like say "speedy uploader" they show the correct amount!!
So im assuming its something to do with the android gallery, does anyone have any ideas except the obvious one "use a different gallery app" as i really like the stock one
Thanks
Pete

Try clearing data of gallery.
Maybe enabling rescan media Root is causing this problem.

yeah thats what i tried, but looks like it's facebook, have found that a lot of my albums have been deleted as just checked on my pc, and it seems i'm not alone, a lot of people having the same problem, facebook just say this can happen after system maintenance! they say if the albums don't come back after a few hours then to let them know, they haven't and i have

Well what i can suggest u at this point is that there are apps which u can google and will download all ur fb albums on to ur pc and the transfer to ur phone its just a workaround

Cant delete photos

I have a stock non rooted s3 and uploaded some pics to an app and cant delete them from my gallery now. It says auto backup and has the stupid Picasa sign on it and cant delete them I tried everything.

Did you delete them from your Picasa album?

Yeah turned off Picasa in google sync disabled the picasa upload app and google+ app and i finally got rid of it by going to settings application then all apps and cleared the gallery app after a couple of times it finally deleted them

Its bullsh*t that you cant delete them like every other picture i had to fully wipe my gallery app in settings and delete everything
Sent from my SPH-L710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

All I did was go to Picasa and delete the pics I didn't want to keep.

Thats what i did but they was still in my gallery

Actually once you delete them in Picasa they are deleted, at that point you would have resync the device so that it syncs with the app and updates that you deleted the pictures. Then they would dissappear from your gallery.
The reason you could not delete them from the gallery is that those pictures are not actually on your device but on the cloud. They are merely represented in the gallery because you synced it. Once you delete them from Picasa they would have deleted automatically from your gallery once synced.
Have a great day!
