You have to remove them from your Google account directly not from the phone. Then clear data on your picasa and reboot

I ran into the same problem few days ago, and here is what you can do!
EASIEST WAY "CHEATING"
Go to your gallery! THEN "Settings" THEN "Content to display" then uncheck picasa, and magically it should disappear from the phone!
NOW TO DELETE THESE PICTURES FROM YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT:
If you have access to the computer, go to your google plus account, and then you'll find the pictures set as a backup!
If you're using a cellphone!
Download Google Plus or Picasa App, it will use your gmail to log-in! Go to settings, and disable the image backup! Also you'll have the option to remove them for good from your account!

you can go to
Settings
Accounts
Google
uncheck pictures
then clear data for
Gallery
Media Services
this way it stays on your picasa but not ur phone

Remove the account and add it back in. Try that.

I had that, seems to be when contacts are linked and you delete the phone contacts without unlinking them first. Also you seem to have to do a factory reset to be able to delete the google account as other apps use this account.Doing a factory reset from the sd card and phone options does work then put the accounts back on and sync.
So the only option is factory reset. I thought about adding another Google account and removing the offending one. The add the offending one back.

I thought i am on to the best syncing program - Google Sync but i am now doubting. I hate almost anything that will make me to factory reset!
Try this.
Settings > Applications > Manage applications > All > Now scroll down to Contacts > Clear data repeat for Contacts Storage.
Then try synchronizing your Google account again.

After completing an reinstall of my contacts there is one small problem. Before the my contact tab auto linked with my Facebook account and now it hasn't. I cannot link it myself because that option is not on the my contact tab details. Any ideas on how I can get the link suggestion again.

the same thing happened to me a few weeks back when i did this. Haven't figured it out yet but to be honest it doesnt bother me
Did you have to reinstall after a factory reset or clear the data in contacts storage app?

A little Q - what will happen if i were to delete my contacts in DHD and sync again with Gmail? Will that delete all my contacts in both places?

Why don't you create a few test contacts, one from your DHD and another from GMail. Sync them and delete both from your DHD.
Thanks for your help I just removed my Facebook for HTC sence account then added it again and with out me doing anything 20 minutes later it had linked my Facebook account to my contact card with out even asking.

Contact won't sync with Facebook

Hey guys,
Trying to sync my contacts with those one Facebook that way when they call me their profile pic shows up. But I don't see an option to sync. I'm running miui 1.8.12 with tiamat kernel. I know with other roms I had that option.

what VENOMENON_24 is trying to say is go to the market and download the facebook app. (dont log in through the browser) when you sign into the facebook app it will ask you to "sync with contacts" select yes and your good to go.
I am using the Facebook app. It sync only some of the contacts not all. I also try matching the names exactly how they have it in fb only shows what seems like coding but won't sync to their fb
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
go to settings in the facebook app and hit Sync All
For those that aren't being matched with their Facebook profile, but that have an entry from Facebook in your contacts app...
Go to the Contacts app and find the person you want to merge to the FB contact. Select the contact, select menu > edit contact, then menu > join.
Aside from a couple of people, mine synced up perfectly. I didn't have to do anything special through MIUI other than join 3 people because they have idiotic Facebook names that aren't their given names.
Some people use SyncMyPix or whatever the app is called to get photos to show in Contacts. It may be worth trying if you still have problems.
MIUI isn't the same as Sense. The social networking integration that's a part of Sense isn't native in AOSP roms. I think Facebook and other such sites are kind of lame, so I don't miss it.

Plain thanks for the info. Didnt realized after edit there was another sub menu to select join.

google account not synching

on my nexus 7 my gmail is only syncing when I click sync in the app and I can't log into google talk, anyone know what causes this/ how to work around it? I tried removing and re-adding the account, and droping all syncing and rebooting then re-adding. would prefer to avoid a hard reset if able as it took forever to install all the apps on it.
tried removing auto sync from data tab and restarting and re-enabling no dice... thinking I may be stuck with a reset... boo
Reset did nothing...
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
a complete factory reset and still nothing is auto syncing and I can't even sign into talk any one have any thoughts at all?
Under settings->accounts->Google-> your account

Yep, and I also tried toggeling the sync part of the power bar widget, and the auto sync piece under the data setting.
Odd. That sucks. Hope you fix it.

Auto sync question.

Does turning off syncing under your Google account stop syncing from occurring completely? Or will it still sync when I run the application itself etc. Would like to turn auto syncing off yet still be able to sync.

You'll still be able to sync. Just turn auto sync off and for example, open the Gmail app. There's a refresh button at the top if you want to sync.

You'll also have to keep in mind that most email accts added to the native email app will be able to sync when you choose to, but an Exchange server acct might not be happy.

Google play store can't download apps

Hello,
My play store gave me an error to retrive from the server, so I uninstalled updates and cleared cache and it didn't worked afterwards.
What do I do?
Edit: when it tries to sync with my Google account, it shows "Request Permission" in the notifications, and when I click it, the Google account manager crashes, so I cleared data, force stopped and cleared cache and no luck. What do I do?!?! I'm stuck with an outdated, not working play store!!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
1. Make sure you haven't only deleted the cache but also the data of Play
2. Clear the data of Google Services Framework
3. Remove and re-add your Google account
4. Reflash your system partition and/or do a factory reset
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Having the same issue and obviously reflashing is out of the question. What are the consequences of removing my account and readding? Do I lose my apps? Do I have to add my account back in gmail, etc...?

You won't lose any apps. After adding, using the settings menu, I think you just need to sync things again, so it won't be a problem.
I simply removed and added back in my Google account.
Don't forget to reconfigure what gets synced with your Google account afterwards.
