Finally figured this out after hours of messing around. Basically the size of the file it shows in the album is not true. The files shown and the size of the file are not on your phone, they are showing the size of the files held in Picasa. If you want proof them hold down the home key for 2 seconds and look at the storage on your phone. You will them notice that the storage used on yourphone does not include the files that you see in your gallery. ..... In other words your gallery is simply showing you the size of the file held in Picasa. .. Not on your phone.
This is very confusing and I have no idea why Samsung have set it up like this but you don't need to worry.

Make sure the synching for the Picasa albums is still off, then go into Settings > Application manager. Select the All tab, find Gallery and hit the Clear data button. Next time you open the Gallery, it will take a moment to rebuild it but the Picasa albums should finally be gone.

What if I don't have account and sync? Is there any other way to fix this?

[meyerweb]

If you don't have an account that's been synced, you wouldn't have Picasa albums on your phone. So if you have Picasa albums on your phone, you have an account, and can turn sync for that account on and off.

Go to settings. Notice that the settings options are broken up by gray headers (Wireless and network, Device, etc.). Swipe down until you find the gray bar that says "Accounts." Under that header should be a row that says "Google." Tab there. At the top of that page you should see your Google account (e.g., ). Tap there.

Scroll down until you see "Sync Picasa Web Albums." Uncheck the box.

Note: the above is for Jelly Bean. If you're still on ICS, it might be slightly different, but should be basically the same.

[NickieDunker]

Follow Iother directions about turning off synching. Then go to settings, application manager, all apps, gallery, then clear the Cashe, not the data. that should remove Picasso pictures and not others pix on your card or phone.

[Peter Reid]

Go I to settings go to the very bottom and click on google app and click remove and then the folder won't be in your gallery

Hope this helped

Click on it, remove all pictures, delete the google+ profile, then sign out of gmail...Go to your phone, press settings, thern application manager, select all, find gallery, open it and press clear data....go back and the picasa albums will be deletyed....I just did it about 5 minutes ago...I have a Galaxy Note 2, it was easy....I also have a Galaxy note 2 that is 30 days old for sale. best damn phone ever....248-821-0701

[Gregory Todd]

no that doesnt work either. for some reason samsung thinks that its important that you should have to view all your picasa albums in the gallery. and google thinks its relevant that you should be able to post your albums on the web by default. who does that?

[Anthony Martin3]

Make sure the synching for the Picasa albums is still off, then go into Settings > Application manager. Select the All tab, find Gallery and hit the Clear data button. Next time you open the Gallery, it will take a moment to rebuild it but the Picasa albums should finally be gone.

worked perfectly--- no need to backup. Just the Picasa albums gone

[gcaver2]

Go into your gallery. Tap on menu (bottom left). Check items on phone. Picasso pictures will no longer be visible on your gallery.

Thank you very much - worked like a charm.

[John Maurer]

You might have start there to help me. Where do I find synching with picasa to make sure it is off? Nothing seems to do any good for getting rid of picasa pictures.

[John Maurer]

It took me some time but I finally figured it out. Settings>Google>hold down gmail address>uncheck Sync Picasa Web albums>Go back to settings, application manager, all , click on gallery, then clear the Cashe, not the data. that should remove Picasso pictures and not others pix on your card or phone.
