HT201317 How do you delete a album from "Photos"?

How can an album be deleted completely from "Photos" on an I-Pad air?

Hello Crick256,
Thank you for the question.  It sounds like you would like to delete an album off of your iPad.
If you created the album on the iPad, you can tap the Edit button when viewing the list of albums and then tap the x icon to delete the album:
Manage albums. While viewing your album list, tap Edit.
Delete an album:  Tap .
Only albums created on iPad can be renamed or deleted.

If the photos were synced to your iPad from a computer, use these steps to delete the album:
To delete synced photos and videos
In iTunes, select the device icon in the Devices list on the left. Click the Photos tab in the resulting window.
Choose "Sync photos from."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Choose "Selected albums" and deselect the albums or collections you want to delete.
Click Apply.

  • How do you delete any pictures from photo area?

    How do I delete ANY photos from Ipad, either in albumn or camera roll???  Just bought it last night.  I did a sync and ALL MY COMPUTER PICS were transferred to all devices.
    Thanks for any advice to come!

    Photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing - they can't be deleted directly on the iPad.

  • How do you delete phantom albums from the music on my iPad?  I keep all my shareable music in the cloud and don't want to utilize iPad storage.  I read the answer that says I have to download the music again so I can delete it but that seems silly.

    i have most of my shareable music in the cloud.  I try to clean out the downloaded music on my iPad to clean up storage.  i used to be able to delete local copied music easily but somehow in ios 8 or so, I lost the ability to delete albums.  I read the support suggestion that I should re download this music so I then can delete it.   This seems so silly I can't imagine that this was Apple's intention.  Anybody got a clue?

  • How do I delete an Album from Elements 11?  I've already deleted photos.

    How do I delete an Album from Elements 11?  I've already deleted photos, want to get rid of album name.

    Simply right click and choose delete from the contextual menu. Remember that an album is only a list (a kind of 'playlist') of files. If you have deleted the files, the album list is empty. If you have not deleted the files, the list is deleted, not the files it points to.

    Thanks!

    You will need to restore your phone as a new one using the itunes on your computer.  This WILL erase everything on the phone but it will let you change the name of the phone and then you can add content to it.

  • How do you delete a song from a playlist in iTunes?

    I feel stupid asking this question but how do you delete a song from a playlist? right clicking doesn't give a menu option to do it, and neither does the file menu. The highlight/delete option doesn't work either.
    Also, I've ended up with several copies of the same songs in my library . Can i delete the excess tracks in one go without highlighting them?
    Thanks,
    Dom

    Option-delete will remove a selected track from a playlist AND the library. Delete will just remove the track from a regular playlist.
    Yes, you need to highlight all the songs you want to delete. Sort your library by song title. This should put all the dups together for easy highlighting and deleting.

  • How do you delete a file from an iPad?

    How do you delete a file from an iPad?
    There are 2 versions of a document file on my iPad.
    I want to get rid of the obsolete one.
    The iPad Users Guide does not describe how to delete a document file.
    This is very frustrating!

    The iPad Guide is for the iPad itself, not other apps you may install.

  • How do I delete an album of photos from iphoto?

    How do I delete an album from iphoto?

    Deleting Photos from an iPhoto Library
    1 - from an Event or the Photos mode: select the photo(s) and use the Delete key to move the photos to the trash bin. Then empty the iPhoto Trash bin as follows:
    2 - from an album, smart album, book, slideshow, card, etc.: select the photo(s) and use the key combination of Command+Option+Delete to move the photos to the trash bin.  Then empty the trash bin as above.
    NOTE: deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with only the Delete key only deletes that photo from that item. Deleting a photo from an Event deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

    Which program are you asking about.   Some apps do not delete via the trash, though as Axeman suggests, it's your first choice.  
    Incidentally, it is wise never to install an app or program that you haven't got uninstall details for.

  • HT2729 How do you delete a Podcast from your Mac?

    How do you delete a Podcast from your MacBook Air?
    <Email Edited by Host>

    To delete an entire podcast you have subscribed to - with all its episodes - select it and hit delete. You will be asked whether you want to move it to the trash or leave it in the Library - if you choose the latter option it wil disappear from iTunes but the files will still be taking up space in the Library.
    If you have mistakenly chosen the keep option, go to (user)/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Podcasts and delete the files. Do not do this if you have not removed it from the iTunes application - delete it there to avoid messing up the indexing.
