1264037 2012-03-10 03:34:00 Like it says: I cannot delete any names in Picasa . I have several that do not appear in any of my GMail accounts, but did at one time .

Now - even though the old names aren't in GMail - they are still in Picasa 3 .

Any ideas how to edit and delete the old dead names?

I Googled and only get info on how to delete MY account and totally delete Picasa - but that's not what I want to do .

1264038 2012-03-10 06:08:00 Might help (www.steves-digicams.com), but seems for folders, or suggesting a hex editor for txt (possibly ref/pointer files) for files within a hidden folder. Not sure if it's linked to the web album online, which may cause names/files appearing. From the same site here about email linking. (www.steves-digicams.com)

But... Google have a habit of not having delete options for some of their web based (or desktop linked) properties, e.g. Google Reader, and Google Adsense. In fact I found, without me knowing, Google had posted all my images from Blogger to Picassa online. Now with Google+, might have unsuspecting sharing going on, if logged in...

I read that second link myself a couple of days ago and it only works for changing your own email address or deleting it, not much to do with editing the people on your email list though.

I think I'll delete Picasa and re-instal it to see what happens - after I back all the pixs I want onto my archive HDD first.

1264040 2012-03-10 20:54:00 Seems plenty of disscussion - or rather issues about Picasa in Google Groups. Might find a workaround. (groups.google.com) kahawai chaser (3545)
1264041 2012-03-10 22:01:00 Yeah - I'm still looking for an answer before I grenade Picasa and reinstall it. SurferJoe46 (51)
1264042 2012-03-10 22:39:00 If you right click and move to new person it looks like you can delete there in the pop up box gary67 (56)

OK - this looks good. Thanks. You prolly saved me a lot of work, although clicking on a few dozen names and bogus entries is a lot of work.

But yeah - it seems to be sol-ved. (Inspector Clouseau)
