Greetings, all. I have a new Galaxy s3. When I plugged it in to my PC, I acquired an extra album in the gallery. It contains zero items and it has the name of my PC. I have all the syncs turned off, including the picasa. I cannot seem to delete the album. Interestingly, when I restart the phone and then view the gallery, this album shows up a few seconds after the pictures and downloads albums. I would appreciate any ideas. This seems like a very useful forum.
 
Yes there are shared folders on your PC. Stop sharing them and they will go away. Or you can use a different gallery app that will allow you to hide ones you do not want.

On your PC you can also tell it specifically what devices to share the folder with so you can also turn off the S3 and it won't show.

Remember anything you put into that shared folder in your PC can be viewed on your S3. photos, songs, video etc.

Damn picasa albums will show up if I forget to turn sync off and they only contain my contacts pictures. I'll go into apps and open up gallery and wipe data. It will delete everything but the galleries that hold the pictures on your sd or internal.

Thank you so much. Have had these pics that will not go away for months. Now they are gone. Never thought of doing this!!!!

I deleted data in the app and had the pics go away but after a few moments they regenerate themselves.................??????????????????????
