Hi Gracie - well, you did not respond to my initial questions so providing a definite answer(s) is difficult but I'll make some assumptions - first that you are using the native Photo App of the iPad (i.e. the icon w/ the yellow sunflower), and second that the folders you are discussing were created by syncing from your computer w/ iTunes - these are critical assumptions, but I will try to briefly discuss the folders in the native app - please refer to the image attached which is from my own iPad (click on the pic to enlarge).
There are a number of folders that are present: 1) Camera Roll (CR) - contains images from various sources, e.g. those taken w/ the camera, pics imported from a digital camera and shared w/ the CR, and images saved from the web (Wi-Fi sync options also exist); Imported Albums - in my pic, these are the 'Last Import' & 'All Imported' - these are made when images are brought in from a camera using the CCK (camera connection kit); Synced Folders - in my case, 'Kachinas' & 'iPad Photos'; and Folders made w/i the Photo App - again, on my iPad, 'Travels' and 'New'.
NOW, how can these folders be manipulated? In the CR, images can be easily deleted (BUT, keep in mind that if these were used in folders made w/i the Photo App, the images are only 'linked' and will be 'deleted everywhere' which is the warning message); Imported images can also be deleted w/i their folders; Folders that are made w/i the app behave similarly, i.e. individual images can be removed w/i those folders; HOWEVER, for folders synced from iTunes (in my case 'Kachinas' & 'iPad Photos'), these CANNOT be removed from w/i the photo app - images and/or folders must be 'deselected' in iTunes and then the iPad re-synced, then these chosen images and/or folders will be removed from the iPad - that is why I have a folder named 'iPad Photos' - easy to control which images you want on the device. Hope this helps - good luck!

Dave I tried to sync my iPad from my computer but it said that my iPad is copying 8 thousand plus of pictures from my computer and I don't want it. So I always stop the syncing. Did I do the right thing? I'm so confuse. Grace
When I click the default program, it's very confusing which should I click to fix it.
Oh I don't really know anybody that can help me not unless I will bring it to the technician and pay them well I guess I'm stuck with this pics in my iPad forever...
