How to delete empty Last Import albums on Ipad2

This is both a question and a partial solution to anyone who has found empty Last Import albums on their Ipad2 after upgrading to IOS 5.1. I ended up with three Last Import albums on my Ipad under the Photos App after the upgrade to 5.1 and Iphoto app.

I could not delete them no matter what I tried. Even turned off Photo sync in Itunes and had it remove all photos from the Ipad and the empty folders are still there.

I ended up trying a round about way of getting rid of the empties. I reasoned that the Camera Connection kit had created this mess and maybe it could fix it.

Solution: (Only practical with a few empty folders)

Shoot some photos with a digital camera using a SD card.

Put the SD Card in the Camera Connection Kit and connect to the Ipad. Import the images but keep them on the card.

Disconnect the CCK and hook up to your Mac with Iphoto running. Import the images and delete from the Ipad when asked.

Delete photos from Iphoto.

Repeat several times and you should notice that each time one more Last Import album vanishes from the Ipad.

Hope this helps someone else with this problem and Apple comes out with a better solution to this.
