remove photos in smart photo albums

How do I remove/delete a smart album, but not from my photos photos?  I thought that you might delete an album and it would not affect the photo in the album - but I find that is not the case.  I have no option other than to remove it, if I right click or use the drop down image.  There is nothing to remove the album, only to delete a message, it will be removed from all my devices in iCloud.  What is happening with this - doesn't seem right...

Change the rules of this smart album. That's the whole point of a "smart" album It is created according to the criteria you set, not by manually add or remove images.

  • Remove photo albums

    A number of photos have been copied from my PC to an iPad via iTunes album. These were then copied on IPad in a new album for housekeeping purposes.  I now want to delete the first album on the iPad, but despite all kinds of advice, I can't find a work process.  Also in iTunes under "on my device" section there is no mention of any section of photos.

    Albums synced from a computer are deleted in the same way they had on the iPad, which is to deselect records/albums that you no longer want on the iPad via the Photos tab in iTunes (the same screen you used to synchronize them with the iPad) and Resync - remove all synchronized albums select and sync just an empty folder for example

    But the albums you have created directly on your iPad do not contain their own copies separate photos, they only pointers to them of their original albums - if you delete the synchronized album you will also delete these photos in your album created.

    They are grayed out for a reason. The reason is that you can not delete them.

    When you create albums on the iPhone and add pictures of these albums, you do not add actually copies of the photos to the albums but just pointers to original photos in the camera or the synchronized pictures. Pointers to these photos allows them to appear in your albums created iPhone. The albums you have created are for your own organization, and as you called it, it is a clean system. The only downside is that these albums can reside only on the device, since the photos in the albums do not really exist.

    IF you were able to remove the camera, all the photos you have organized in albums would disappear.
