bursts in photos

When i synced my pictures from my iphone that once were part of a burst with photos (the new 10.10.3 mac app), photos automatically put them back in a burst. Is there a way to change this? Is there perhaps a setting so photos doesn’t show the previous burst pictures in a burst anymore? Because now, photos makes it seem like i have to select them again manually within the mac photos app while on my phone, they are all loose photo's.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3), Photos

Solved it. In the Photos app, look at the sidebar (if not there, click View/Show Sidebar). Click on the group "Bursts". Right click on a set of photos and choose "Delete 1 Burst". A dialog box will appear and it says, "Delete From All Devices. Keep x favorites and delete y photos from one burst?". If you click the delete button then the "extras" will be deleted and the favorites saved.
