How to Delete All Picasa Albums Programmatically

Picasa Web album doesn't provide us with the way to remove them at once on the web and the application.

I wrote a python script to clean up invalid albums at once.

Here is the script.

You should rewrite you google account and the password in the script. The script need to get the gdata client python library installed. If you don't make the library installed, please look at my former post.

And finally, please carefully note that THIS SCRIPT REMOVES ALL YOUR ALBUMS IN PICASA WEB ALBUM.

#!/usr/bin/env python

import sys

import gdata.photos.service
import gdata.media
import gdata.geo

gd_client = gdata.photos.service.PhotosService()
gd_client.email = 'GOOGLE_ACCOUNT'
gd_client.password = 'PASSWORD'
gd_client.source = 'exampleCo-exampleApp-1'
gd_client.ProgrammaticLogin()

albums = gd_client.GetUserFeed()
for album in albums.entry:
  print 'DELETE: title: %s, number of photos: %s, id: %s' % (album.title.text, album.numphotos.text, album.gphoto_id.text)
  gd_client.Delete(album)
  
sys.exit(0)
