There doesn't appear to be any way of deleting an album that my app has created.

In the docs:

https://developers.google.com/photos/library/guides/manage-albums

There is
- create new album
- add media items to album
- remove media items from album

But no remove album :-(

Would be nice, between no bulk delete option for albums and no API access, this is making it VERY user unfriendly.

After transferring my photos from Flickr, I'm left with hundreds of empty albums that I can't delete.
I'm trying to write a Python script to automate the task, but I can't find any way in the API methods to delete an album.
Does anyone have another solution?
