How to Delete Photo Albums from AppleTV?

There are some old albums from my iPhoto library that I can't seem to remove from Apple TV. These only show up under My Photos: Screen Saver. I have unsynced all of my photos in iTunes several times, but these old photo albums still appear. Is there a way to access AppleTV to delete photos?

Just updated my ATV software, but no change.

Thanks,

I have done that. I finally switched to Apple's screen saver photos & then went back to my photos. Those same photo albums appear. I just want to delete them from Apple TV, but cannot find a way to do that.

Do I need to totally reset my Apple TV?

These photos keep appearing under "My Photos". I'm able to sync via iTunes to my iPhoto library, but I just can't seem to get rid of those old photos.

If they only show up via the screensaver you might want to try changing your screensaver to another and back again. No idea if this will work, but it might be worth a try.

Try a factory reset
general>reset settings>factory restore
this should remove the photo album
however, you will have to restore your personal preferences again

Thanks! Resetting to factory defaults worked!
