I am unable to delete a photo from my iPad that I downloaded in a Skype conversation.

I am unable to delete a photo from my iPad (iOS 7.0.4) that I downloaded in a Skype conversation on my iPad. I deleted the photo from my photo stream and I deleted the Skype history with the person who sent me the photo, but it still appears in my photo album. The trash bin does not appear when I select or open the photo. I also have some photos that appear as duplicates. Neither can I delete the duplicate which does not show the trash bin. There is a common denominator here but I can't figure it out. Please help!

iPad, iOS 7.0.4, Skype 4.17.123

I have one album named "iPad". I don't recall how it got there, where it is there by default or if I created it. Nothing in this album shows a trash can in either full or thumbnail view - I can only edit or share or add to.


In full view mode, when I click on "edit" the upper left shows "cancel". The other greyed out options next to "cancel" are "undo" and "revert to original". The bottom shows the usual photo editing tools, but no "edit". Most of the other pictures show the trash can, which is located on the bottom right corner in camera roll in full view mode. In thumbnail mode when I click "select" on the upper right corner and choose a photo the trash can appears on the upper left corner". This all seems normal. However, the "iPad" album behaves different.
