Album keeps saving images from emails, such as corporate logos and empty images

ETE — Wed, 24 Sep 2014 14:55:13 GMT

For some odd reason my Sony Xperia Z2 adds images to my Album which I have not taken nor asked to save myself. These include images attached to emails - typcially corporate logos, but also seems to add blank images (which show as a logo of what looks like a mountain image used on cameras to show "landscape"). I therefore regularly have to go in and delete all these extra images which load up quite quickly....somewhat annoying.
Is there a setting I have missed somewhere?

The album is not just meant for pictures you took from the camera apps. It includes every pictures and images that the phone receives. This includes images from emails, Whatsapp, MMS and all the other apps. Even album covers that you download for your mp3s. Oh, and let's not forget videos as well.

I wish there's a way to select or block only folders or apps we want to be included in Album.

Thank you Alexdon. Apologies for my low technical savinness - where do I find the clear data and cache settings for the album. The settings option within the Album app seems to have limited functionality: "General", "Play/ Memories online"...>

Thanks for tips
