Deleting photos

I have recently purchased a Tab S. All the photos on my desktop have synced to the tablet via Picasa however they are not in any sensible order. I wish to deleting them all and use kies to download them instead.

i cannot delete the photos however either singly or in a block

Re: Deleting photos

Welcome to Android Central! Photos that sync from Picasa are simply syncing from your Google Photos in the cloud. They don't actually download to the device unless you select a photo to download. If you don't want to see them displayed, go to Settings>Accounts-Google>[your Google account], and uncheck Picasa or Gallery (it can vary with the device). You might also have to go to Settings>Accounts-Samsung​ and uncheck Picasa there.

Re: Deleting photos

I am having the same problem. All the photos i want gone have a chrome icon in the lower corner of the photo. I assume they are physically located in the cloud but what specific sync sinc setting do I uncheck to eliminate them?

Re: Deleting photos

It's not a Chrome icon--it's most likely a Picasa icon (or a Google Photos icon). Did you try my suggestion in the above post?
