Google photos help !

[chrisnewton]

Hi all

I have an issue with google photos that is doing my head in. Basically when i take a batch of photos i then, when home switch on auto backup and they upload to google photos (great thats what i want !) i can then move them on google photos into albums and view these on all of my nexus devices through the gallery app.

Again all is great apart from one thing, when i go into the gallery app on say my nexus 5, all my photos are there in the albums etc, however i have one album thats called "auto backup" it has about 46 photos all of which appear in other albums but i cant no matter what i do get rid of this one album.

I have signed into google plus on pc and this album does not exist on there for me to delete. I have googled the problem and all the answers tell me to go into google settings and un sync google photos completely. I don't want this i just want this one album to vanish.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Chris

The auto-backup is a view of all the photos that were auto-backed up Google Plus. In the stock gallery app, you cannot stop it from displaying.

You can switch over to using the Photos app if you prefer

The auto backup folder is just there in order to help show you what you have backed up. it only exists in the gallery app, like you have said. If it is causing a big issue for you, like the other poster said, you can view your photos in the photos app. However, there isn't really a way to delete this folder.

auto backup is thru picasa that has been integrated with google + if you want to manage those photos and its not deleting or doing what you want via google + you can download picasa web tool in the play store sign in with gmail and go to auto backup.

There is a app service that you can delete the cashe to that removes this but dont worry about it because the gallery will no longer exist once Android L comes out
