removing existing photos

[Egrescudel]

On my Samsung note 10.1 I have photos in one of my photo albums the album is labeled Profile pictures. There doesn't seem to be a way to delete these photos of my old girliend, new girlfriend not to happy. LOL can anyone help?

Welcome to Android Central! Are those photo stored locally or in your Google+ Photos/Picasa albums in the cloud? Chances are they're in your cloud. Open the Photos app (the one with the pinwheel icon) and try deleting it there (Photos allows cloud deletion, while the stock Gallery app usually doesn't). Otherwise, go to your Google+ Photos page on the web and delete the photo there. Afterwards, on your phone, go to the App Manager, select Gallery, and Clear Cache/Clear Data, then Force Stop. When you open Gallery again, after a few seconds of rebuilding the database, that photo should be gone.

Sounds like those are syncing from somewhere, maybe Google+ or another linked account. One way to make sure its gone is just factory reset, but before you sync any photo's check your social media sites that may be set to sync with it, you may have lingering photos you forgot about and they may automatically sync up again
