Deleting imported pictures

**jwaxx5** · 11-19-2010, 08:48 PM

Got the optimus yesterday. As I played around, I accidentally imported a bunch of pics from Picasa. I don't want these pics on the phone but it does not give me an "Delete" option. It does when I've taken a pic with the phone, but not on these photos. Any thoughts or ideas?

I think you have to unlink Picasa, or delete an app that ties into it if you got one.

But Picasa/Google came with the phone...can't get rid of anything associated with Google. My Picasa albums appeared after the update the other day and I canNOT for the life of me get rid of them. I did before...ha...can't now. Searching everywhere...wasting time that I don't have ...because of the update. I've even hooked up to pc and selected "delete from device"....they're still on my phone. Arrrggghhhh.

I had the same problem on my new phone but after MUCH angst, I found the solution! On your phone, go to "settings" then scroll to and select "Accounts and Sync". Then you have to turn off any gmail access. This should do the trick...it did for me. Good luck!

Going into "settings", "accounts and sync", then clicking on your email address then unchecking the "picasa" option should remove them and still keep your gmail access.
