I had the same issue. Had to log into the Google+ desktop site to have the ability to delete.

They're not on the phone, hence they're not deletable from the phone.

You can turn off Photo sync in settings or they can be deleted via G+ on the computer

You have to:

1. Unable Google photo sync : Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> ____@gmail.com -> Un-check "Sync Google Photos"

2. Force quit AND clear data on both Gallery and Google+ Apps

3. Refresh or whatever. Problem solved.

question..when you guys do that does it still show the folder for the sync? or does it just show your own photos that youve taken on the phone?

It will remove everything that's in Picasa and/or Google+ and leave your camera pics there

what do you mean force quit when you turn sync off?

The latest Google+ update allows you to delete photos directly from the Google+ app on your phone. This can help if you haven't disabled Google+.

Settings->Apps->All->Gallery->Force Stop

I hate to bump an old topic, but I ran into a problem that isn't fully answered here.

I got the Samsung Galaxy S (the first one), and when I synced to Google, it loaded my G+ photos. It's not on my phone, but I want them removed.

Going to Settings, Accounts & Sync, gmail shows me the following:
Sync Books, Sync Contacts, Sync Gmail, Sync Picasa Web Albums, Sync Calendar.

There are no general settings, and there's nothing for G+. Also, clicking these actually starts the sync process, rather than allowing me to remove the option.
