How do I delete photos from Gallery?

[Peter Kafer]

Gallery was populated with pictures from facebook, picasa and who knows where else. I am not able to delete any of those pictures. I've gone to Settings>accounts>Google and Settings>accounts>facebook and unchecked everything related to sync. I have gone to app manager, but Gallery is not on the list, so how do I erase the cache? There are zillions of photos that I do not need on the phone and many of them appear in duplicate, triplicate.

Go to gallery then click settings in the right corner. Click on your Gmail account, then scroll down and uncheck sync to picassa, fb, etc. Then go to application manager and click on gallery, hit clear data. Now it won't sync and you can delete the folder.

I've done most of that. However, when I go to app manager, I do not find gallery on the list

Slide right to "all" apps. Gallery is there...

Yes! Thank you. I also found that I can get to the same screen if I tap and hold the gallery icon and drag it to an icon that appars at the top of the screen--"app info." So now I have deleted all the data and can go about populating gallery with stuff that I want However, the photos app and dropbox satisfy the need so gallery is somewhat superfluos.

Thank you so much. Even though I don't have a Samsung, or a Gmail account, or know what picas is, just knowing about gallery was enough to allow me to get rid of unwanted photos.
