Deleting albums

[Digitalrex]

Has anyone figured out a way to delete entire albums in iOS 7? Seems like a silly thing to remove but it's gone....

Initiate the camera roll/photo app. Click on Albums at the bottom of the screen. Tap Edit in the upper right corner. If on an iPad, an x will appear. Just tap on the X and then tap on "Delete Album" when prompted. On the iPhone, a red circle with a minus symbol appears after tapping on "Edit". Simply tap the red circle and then tap "Delete".

My apologies, sir. I should not have assumed you were referring to photos. Anyway, I don't have any albums on my device, but I would assume that you could delete the albums via iTunes in basically the same manner as with iOS 6.

Not even when you turn OFF iTunes Match are you able to delete the albums?

On iOS7 I've not found an easy way to remove entire music albums bought from iTunes from the iPhone library but just single songs at a time, which is very time consuming.

The only thing I have found is you can still go into settings, general, usage and delete everything

You have to select the 'Sync only ticked' option in iTunes. Connect your ipad, click on the ipad icon in iTunes, select the summary tab at the top, then scroll down and check the 'sync only ticked' option. In iTunes you then untick any songs you want removed and then click sync (back in the ipad screen in iTunes). Hey presto! Albums gone, space saved, stress levels reduced!
