Why are all of my Picasa folders/pics synced to my gallery? How do I kill them!?!

Yea, so I use G+ a lot, and I post bunches of pics, so my Picasa has hundreds of folders that are all labeled by date. On my Galaxy Tab 10.1 I could choose in my accounts to sync Picasa, and then they all flooded is. If I unselected syncing Picasa, they all went away. Great!
Well, on my Galaxy Tab 7 Plus (4G), all of those folders are there regardless of the option. I have checked and unchecked multiple times, nothing. They all stay. I want them gone.
Any idea why these are there, why they won't leave, and/or how to force them out?
Thanks...

Add a file called .nomedia in the folder where the album arts are stored and the gallery will not show that folder's images.

Does the .nomedia file simply hide the unwanted files or does it keep the files from being written to the folder ?

The .nomedia will hide them. If you want to not sync them at all go to settings > accounts and sync > your gmail account >and remove the check mark from picasa web albums.

There is nothing to check ore uncheck from picasa web albums. The only 2 things (in settings > accounts and sync) that can be check. They are backrounddata and auto synchronisation. I had unchecked auto synchronisation but all picasa files was in galarie folder. Background data I need for other apps. But here -> settings > accounts and sync > your gmail account is no place for make check mark or uncheck.
That the reason I dont understand why my picasa web alben where automatically syncht.

You have to open the account to see the next level of menus. See attached.

It looks like your screen is being cut off.
Did you change your pixel density? I have mine set to 140.

Check auto sync in the previous screen and then try

No I dont change the density. I have an Galaxy Tab 7.0 plus P6200. Do you have an Galaxy Tab 7.7 with higher resolution?
The autosync in previus screen is unchecked. Only bachground data is checked.
Edit:
I see another difference. Under the Points Gmail sync, Calender sync, Picasa sync and so on is a line that say: Now type in order to synchronize (tippen um jetzt zu synchronisieren). But i never touched this for picasa before. I only touch it yeaterday long pressed to see if I can choose not synchronize but no long press do nothing only start to synchronize again.
Edit 2:
OK, I found it. On first side autosync must be checked and after this on the second side the check boxes appear.

Hi guys,
I put .nomedia file into the folder that I want to hide, but gallery still show picture & video. Do you have any ideas?

Clear cache and all other and stop the app in application menu. After that alle files are gone.

[Q] Why doesn't the Gallery app support .nomedia files?

After adding a .nomedia file to the Touchdown attachments folder I tried many things to try to get the Gallery to stop displaying these folders (in various combinations):
Rebooted
Wiped the data of the HtcMediaCacheService
Wiped the data of the Gallery app
Renamed the folder to one thing, opened the Gallery, renamed it back, opened the Gallery again. (As per this suggestion.)
I don't want to use the "Show/hide albums" feature because Every email with a picture attachment creates it's own album. Is there some way to solve this?
EDIT: After yet another reboot, they're finally not showing!

exchange app help

Not sure if this is a known bug or whether there is a setting but when I originally set up my exchange account I accidentally added a favourite folder at the top of the inbox list. So when I open the app I see the 'favourite' folder then 'show 45 more folders' then my emails. I have even deleted that 'favouite' folder from the server but it just replaces that folder with a new 'favourite'. I have been through all the settings I can think of to remove it but this annoying folder just stays there. Even deleting the account and reinstating it again still shows this favourite folder at the top of my inbox.
Can anyone help in what I thought would be a simple removal procedure

Backup and restore app with data

my phone is rooted, i need to backup 1 app, just 1 app. is there any way to install apk and data when switching to new rom? Can i install it via twrp? i don't want to root on new rom
Or
When i root to restore and unroot, unroot really clean? (worried about banking app, game not allow root)
Thanks

Google's backup service should be turned on by default after you set up your Android device, but you should double-check that's indeed the case. If you have trouble finding the backup settings by following the steps outlined below, use the search bar in the Settings app to find "backup."
Back up apps, data and settings​To view your backup settings, open the Settings app on your Android device and tap on System > Backup. There should be a switch labeled "Back up to Google Drive." If it's turned off, turn it on. You can select which Google account you want to use to store your backups by tapping on the Accounts option if you are signed into more than one Google account on your phone.
With backup turned on, your phone will automatically back up the following information:
Contacts
Google Calendar events and settings
Wi-Fi networks and passwords
Wallpapers
Gmail settings
Apps
Display settings (brightness and sleep)
Language and input settings
Date and time
Settings and data for apps not made by Google (varies by app)
You'll see a list of data categories under the Active Backups section, along with the last time that information was backed up. Tap a section, such as App Data, to view more information or fine-tune which apps are backed up. For example, if you tap Photos & Videos, the backup settings page for Google Photos app is automatically opened.
If you're switching from one Pixel phone to another, your home screen layout is backed up and restored. However, I've had mixed luck when restoring a back up from a Pixel to, say, a Motorola phone. Your mileage will undoubtedly vary.
At any time, you can visit this section and tap Back Up Now to manually start a backup. Make sure your phone is connected to a strong Wi-Fi network, and plug it into a charger to speed up the process. If you're upgrading phones, you should manually start a backup before setting up your new phone.
Hope this can help you!
Thanks
