How do I stop Photos from creating albums?
Photos automatically creates albums of camera rolls or dates which are unwanted. I delete them and the return over and over again. How do I stop the app from creating albums?

Hello jpmsteffen,
If we understand, you would like to stop Photos from creating memories. Is that correct? You’re in the right place, we’d be glad to assist in seeking a solution.
First, take a look here: View memories in Photos on Mac
While you can't keep them from being created entirely, you can block certain types:
"Block a type of memory
You can block specific types of memories whose content you don’t want to see.
- In the Photos app
on your Mac, click Memories in the sidebar. - Double-click a memory that you want to block.
- Scroll down and click Block Memory, choose the type of memory you want to block, then click Block.
To reset Photos to create blocked memories again, choose Photos > Preferences, click General, then click Reset Blocked Memories."
If you would like to see this behavior changed, we encourage you to leave feedback here: Product Feedback
Take care.
