Photos that are synced from a computer are deleted in the same way as you synced them, they can't be deleted directly in the iPad's Photos app i.e. reconnect your iPad to your computer and select it in your computer's iTunes (if the left-hand sidebar, control-S on a PC, is enabled on your computer's iTunes then select the iPad on that), and then use its Photos tab (on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen if you have the sidebar enabled) to de-select the folders/albums that you no longer want on your iPad and sync/apply that new selection.

The Photos and Album tabs in the Photos app are just different ways of looking at the same photos, so your photos should either show in both tabs or neither.


Try closing the Photos app via the iPad's multitasking bar and then do a soft-reset and see if they still show when you re-open the app. To close the Photos app : double-click the home button to open the iPad's taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Photos app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.


To a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
