How to Delete A Picasa Account
Picasa is an online photo-sharing website operated by Google. You can use your Google sign in to access your Picasa account. While you may not know you have a Picasa account, any photos you upload to Blogger blogs are automatically stored on your Picasa account. You cannot delete your Picasa account, but you can delete the albums from Picasa or change who can see the photos.
Deleting My Account: Step By Step
According to Google, unless you wish to cancel your entire Google account, you cannot delete your Picasa account. You can, however, remove albums so no one can see the pictures posted on your Picasa page. You will have a Picasa album page even if you never visited the website. Many photos shared on Google platforms are stored on Picasa.
