So all of a sudden today my LOG decided to start syncing with Picasa which i was not even aware i had an account for. It only synced a few photos but it will not allow me to delete or hide the albums under the gallery settings. I have already gone under the sync options and my goggle account and turned off the ability for it to sync with Picasa but even after disabling that option and re-syncing the entire account the pictures still will not go away. Can anyone tell me how to remove these? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!
This is most likely because you have a Google+ account. If you don't remember uploading any pictures to it, check if instant upload is enabled on your phone. As for deleting the pictures, you'd have to either log in to your Google+/Picasa account online and then delete them form there or download the application and delete them from there. Very inconvenient for sure but that's the way to do it!

Photos on Contact (That Already Sync To FB Account) Was Not Sync-ing.
So Contact(s) Photos Display Nothing. I've Already Try With "Infinite" Button, But It Doesn't Affect Anything.
Note: All of My Contacts in Phonebook Display it Photos Synced With FB Before. But Later, I Logged Out My FB Account, And Then When I Logged In With My FB Account, All Of Contacts Photos Synced With FB Was Gone.
I Think Theres Some File Which I Must Delete To Recover The Setting To Retrieve Photos With Infinite Button, But I Don't Know Which Files I Must Delete.
Is There Anybody Experience This Problem?
Please Help ...
Do you have the facebook app set to sync in the settings menu?
Menu > Settings > Accounts and sync > ensure that FB is set to sync. Appologies if you have already checked this.
Already Done It
Wheter With Mobile Internet Connection (3G) and WiFi (High Speed) Still The Photo Of Contacts Won't Load.
ok, here's what i did, i removed all FB accounts. re add, and re authorized.
next make sure your Contact app has been configured to display contacts synced via SE Facebook Integration (click the icon with 3 persons at the top left of the Contacts app).
by the way, i believe you can actually view the contacts FB status from Contacts list, but apparently this is not happening.
anyone able to help?
Ok, so I'm sick o my picasa albums showing up in my gallery. And under accounts and sync I turned of the picasa syncing as well but they are still there.
Is there a way to remove them? I also tried to delete the google account off my phone then re add it and quickly uncheck the picasa web album sync but I can't be fast enough haha.
I know there's a solution! Help me!
Thanks!
Go into Accounts & Settings -> Your Gmail -> Uncheck Picasa Sync [you already did this].
Go into apps and find gallery. Clear cache and data.
Reopen gallery, you're good to go.
This should work:
- Settings / Accounts & sync / your google account / uncheck Sync Google Photos
Then:
- Settings / Apps / All / Gallery / Clear data, then Force Stop

Same for me...
can anyone offer some help here?
Yep,
Go to Apps and click on Google+
Click on uninstall updates.
Go to Accounts and Sync and check if Sync Google Photos is ticked or even present. Make sure it isn't.
(If you're using google+ continue reading)
Go to the Google+ app
Log in but make sure you do not choose Instant Upload
After logging into the app, go to setting and double check if the Instant Upload setting aren't ticked. Then go the Account and Sync and check there as well if Sync Google Photos isn't ticked.
Go to Gallery to confirm the Picasa albums are gone.
Hello, I have a question about the Gallery on the Nexus Galaxy. Is there a way to delete the "auto synced" albums from google+ and synced photos?
I wanted to use the gallery just for local photos that I take with the phone and that I import onto the phone from my computer, yet for some reason, even after I stopped syncing photos with google+ & synced photos, those stupid albums are still there, AND I cant take them off.
Has anyone found a way to take these off just so you have your camera album and other local only albums?
Thanks!
Mike

Link is not working ,i would like a solution to the problem too.
Picasa web albums. Go there, log in with your Google account and delete the albums
Edit: search picasa on Google. Its not an app
I still want these images on my google+ account, just not on my phone >_< is there a way to do that?
Have you tried to disable photo sync in the account and sync settings?
Yes, I have both that and instant upload turned off. I have also unchecked google+ to mkae sure that it wasnt that... But still after uploading new albums, those stupid picasa (or w/e) albums continue to come onto my phone! It's really annoying and stupid! I don't get why they can't realize that some people dont want all their public photos where their private ones are....
I've just set a load of pictures on Google for my contacts, but when I synced them they're showing up on my phone as thumbnails. I've tried deleting my Google account, restarting phone, then re syncing.
Has anyone found a solution?
Just incase anyone comes across this on google, for some reason it doesn't sync in bulk, but I opened each contact individually and the picture synced hi res.
So just do that.
Does anyone know how to un sync or at least get the Picasa pictures to show on my phone?
My s3 recently upgraded to 4.3 and there's now an empty album inside my gallery. I can't delete it or get pictures to show.. I followed steps online where I ho to account settings but since the update to 4.3 I can't seem to check which parts of my Google account I want to sync. I have tried manually syncing Picasa but the photos still won't show..

make sure your sync is turned on (in the pull down notifications menu). Then go to settings, click on the accounts tab, click google acct, then click your gmail address at the top. You should now see a list of things that will sync, along with check boxes to give you the option to sync that item or not. Google photos should be on that list
then be sure to leave the sync on and go back into gallery to see if they show up. After they do, you can turn sync off.
