Multiple empty photo albums
I have hundreds of auto created empty photo albums with the same auto-created name cluttering my photo albums. Is there a way to mass delete these? It will take hours and hours to do it individually if at all.

Hi there dsnm57,
If you're using an iPhone, you'll need to follow the steps below to delete photo albums:
Rename, rearrange, and delete albums
1. Tap Albums, then tap See All.
2. Tap Edit, then do any of the following:
- Rename: Tap the album name, then enter a new name.
- Rearrange: Touch and hold the album’s thumbnail, then drag it to a new location.
- Delete: Tap.
3. Tap Done.
Albums that Photos creates for you, such as Recents, People, and Places, can’t be deleted.
You'll find these steps here: Edit and organize albums on iPhone
If you use a browser to visit iCloud.com, you can select multiple albums and delete them at one time. Learn more about using iCloud Photos on iCloud.com here: Use iCloud Photos on iCloud.com
As you can see from links above, there isn’t a method to mass delete. Apple does appreciate all feedback regarding our products, services, and features. If you'd like to provide feedback on your experience with our products or services, you can do so using this link: Feedback - Photos - Apple
Take care.
