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!

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

Open gallery, press menu, view by and select the one you want.
Did that. But every time I go back into gallery it defaults to showing them again.

If you log in on your computer you can see all your g+ albums and photos from posts. You can manually delete them there. That's the only solution I can find

Disable picasa and google photos under google sync. Then clear data for the gallery app.

Can't find the picasa and google photos under sync..
Settings -> Accounts -> Google -> *****@gmail.com -> Uncheck what you do not wish to sync.
That doesn't get rid of the ones in your gallery
Edit: un checking sync and clearing gallery data worked. Thank you.

Anyway to get rid of facebook from gallery? I unchecked "sync gallery" under accounts and cleared gallery data but facebook keeps loading in gallery. Any ideas?

App manager then gallery then clear data removes picasa and Google pictures. Make sure you un click photos in Google sync

What will happen is I delete the "temp" album in gallery?
What is "cloudagent" as it is taking up 2.4 gb of storage and can I delete it..?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
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.
