There must have been a change.

You now have to open an album, click on Actions and select Delete Album. You then get a threatening warning that all photos will be deleted from all Google products, which makes you think that that includes Picassa, but it doesn’t. What a rubbish way to set this up.

Thank you. This trick worked. I also deleted the blog to no avail, but deleting all the photos (then refreshing the web page) allowed me to delete the album.

But even after you delete all the photos in said album that are posted somewhere on the web, it will not allow you to delete the album.

“The option to delete my web album is greyed out so I can’t delete the album. I can delete the pictures in the album but not the album.”

I had the same problem. The pictures had been posted on blogger so the albums couldn’t be deleted (even after deleting the blogs).

Answer: Delete all the pictures in the album and the option to delete the album will become activated.

I recently stumbled across a bug when you click while viewing a particular image the edit roll down menu, choose delete this photo, it prompts the confirmation you say yes, and then nothing happens I mean NOTHING. it didn’t get deleted whatever i tried. Even for a bug this is kinda too wacky and stupid esp for Google.

for greyed out albums
1 download picasa app on your system
2 import > web albums
3 delete album folder on your system and it gives an option to delete online album too

it worked for me! good luck

Deleting albums is easy.
What I’d be interested in is how not to show the “Recent comments” section in the right side of the window when someone accesses my Picasa Albums page.
Any ideas?

Wendy, the reason for that is because the pictures in that album are posted online somewhere. Whether it be a blog, google buzz, Face Book, twitter or anywhere else, it will not allow you to delete them. I don’t know why, but I do know that it has to do with the pictures being online.

To my knowledge you can’t delete multiple albums at once – only one at a time.
