| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | halon77 | 12/16/11 7:32 PM | I even downloaded Astro File Manager. Found the Picase file that had all the Instant upload pics and deleted it. I went back to the Gallery app and THEY ARE STILL THERE! So frustrated on not being able to delete photos!!!!! |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | halon77 | 12/16/11 8:28 PM | Went back into Astro and deleted EVERYTHING Picasa. Loaded the Gallery app and the pics are gone. You shouldn't have to go through all that just to delete some pics. |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | cianshortt | 12/17/11 7:09 AM | Can we get this looked into? I don't want the photos stored locally on the phone even though they have been removed from Picasa and Google+ albums. |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | VesNL | 12/17/11 7:54 AM | Go to your apps menu and choose Google+ there. Press uninstall updates. (if that isn't there choose clear data) Go back to the Google+ app and makes sure you don't pick instant upload. After you're in the application take a look at photo's to makes s |

| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | oawobs | 12/18/11 11:58 AM | Log into your google+ account on the web and delete the photos from your picture folder. Then go back to your phone and refresh your picture folder. As mentioned above turn off instant upload. |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | AG343 | 12/19/11 7:46 PM | I did it this way: Go to Settings > Apps > All > Google + Then press the "Clear data" button. Now when you go back to the gallery the instant upload and any photos linked in picassa will be gone. You should also disable the syncing before doing this |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | CoryF | 12/20/11 6:06 PM | Even after clearing the data there may still be place holders for the images in the gallery. To remove these and the folder called "Instant upload" delete the directory "Android>Data>com.google.android.gallery3d" or something like that. That did it |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | Malakai | 12/27/11 5:03 AM | Just had this issue. 1. delete the pictures on the web version of Google+ 2. delete the pictures on Picasa if there is any, for me I didn't have them automatically uploaded on there. Here's the link to check: https://picasaweb.google.com/home 3. tu |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | tranathi | 12/28/11 8:19 AM | This is pretty stupid. Why Google let you edit the pictures in Google+ but not allowing you to delete it? Is it because once our pictures are uploaded, it has become Google's property, like Facebook used to think? C'mon now!!! Implement the "Delete" |

| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | Getrich110 | 3/19/12 2:09 AM | I just created another google account and migrated my photos from my current google account to the new one. It was in the Picasa settings. |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | agame315 | 3/26/12 7:58 AM | AG343.... I am having trouble following you instructions. Is the Settings on the iPhone or the web? |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | mkslt04 | 3/26/12 1:41 PM | The Gallery App has a setting that is "Sync over WiFi" if that's set up, then maybe the application isnt updating to reflect the changes. You could also try going into your phone's Setting>Apps>All Apps>Gallery and clear the data. |
| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | Shardgrave | 4/16/12 5:34 AM | I think I finally figured it out (unless Instant Upload pops up again). This is the folder that Google+ has photos stored. I couldn't delete them from the web. However, one person said something about going to the Apps and clearing the cache. So |

| Re: Can't delete Instant Uploads in Gallery app on Galaxy Nexus | Alberto Ngai | 4/24/12 7:03 AM | Thanks for all the help folks.. I finally removed the photos. All you need is 2 steps: 1. Disable Instant Upload on Google+ (Remove alll data & start the app).2. Delete the instant photo album on picasa web (https://picasaweb.google.com/home) Credits |
