the instant upload album that still appears in my gallery even though i have deleted all photos online from picassa and i have turned off sync...its just a grey box now and long pressing it does not give me an option
Go into settings --> applications --> find gallery and clear the data. Go back into your gallery and let it repopulate. See if that works. If not, come back and I'll see if can remember everything I did. But I think all I did was get on G+ and delete them from there, make sure sync was off on my phone, and then clear the Gallery data.
But like I said, report back after trying that out.
yup...that was it....settings>apps>clear data...thank you, for some reason i thought i had already done that
