How to stop Google+ profile photo sync

Ok so long story short, I started using Google+ last night then went to bed. Then wake up to find an undeletable photo album called "profile pictures" and a little Picasa image on the top left.

I've gone to accounts and disconnected the sync feature but it still shows up!

This is really pushing my OCD to the limit... :confused:

Have you tried going in from a computer and deleting it?
 
I had some Picasa showing up on mine though I do not have anything set up to sync. Tried to delete the images with the Picasa logo next to them but was unable to do so.
 
Ok so I did Simons advice and deleted my profile picture but it was still there, so I went to Application Manager and turned off the gallery app, turn it back on and when I went back to it the Gallery app and no more pic! :)
 
O i see another person that doesn't like them photos open for everyone . Now that you got them off the device you may want to check the settings online . I say this cause it was brought to my attention that the photos of me and my girl was online and everyone can see when i looked o o dip i had to change my settings to just me . So check your your settings
 
I had the same thing happen ...could not get rid of it!! But I did go into the settings and hide the album!

This didn't work for me ;(
 
I need to try this hide the album i just made sure i am the only one that can view . My girl just dont want to use the google +at all she said dropbox is better and safer .
 
I tried hiding the album before I did my trick but it wasn't an available action when I selected it. I don't allow Google or anyone to automatically sync my photos to them, goodness forbid I upload a not so decent pic, lol. :p
