How do you remove Picasa albums from phone

[eyecon82]

Don't have to have the app....it's a picture sync from google and is built in and synced by default.

Go into settings----->accounts and sync---->tap google----->uncheck sync picasa web albums.

Go into settings----->application manager---->all tab----->find gallery and clear data

this is the optimum solution and i test it my self
don't worry this will not erase the files on your phone or SD, it only remove from gallery
once you open gallery it will re-scan content
the gallery is simply an interface that show up your content
the above action will only move the cache and i tried just now before i answer

Thanks guys!

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.

Thanks. Great help.

Get on your laptop and go to your Google account. Click on the arrow by your picture on the right side and then click view profile.When your profile loads up click on photos on the left side and click the instant upload tab then delete the instant upload pictures. After you delete it from your account on the computer it will delete from your phone.I did it today and the picasa albums are gone and did not come back. Hope this helps it helped me.

if you do with Gator 352 suggested you will not have to delete your Picasa albums off of your computer. I almost resorted to doing the same thing until I found this thread and what he suggests works just fine without removing your camera photos

Turn off sync......otherwise it will keep populating.

This process worked for my cell. I have an LG Motion, powered by MetroPCS. Thank you for your assistance!
