Easier than Remembering the Primary Keys is to run these in this order

delete from SqAlbum where primaryKey in(select primaryKey from sqpublishedalbum where publishedURL like '%flickr%'); delete from AlbumsPhotosJoin where sqAlbum in(select primaryKey from sqpublishedalbum where publishedURL like '%flickr%'); delete from sqpublishedalbum where publishedURL like '%flickr%'

Much Faster.

That actually looks really good - I particularly like the way it avoids duplicates by checking against the timestamps of uploaded images.

I'm not 100% sure about the way it provides for selection of images for uploading, with a single 'exclude album'. I mean, it'd do the job, but it's a tad inelegant and requires having an album of ugly sitting around.

Otherwise, looks awesome. Thanks for the heads-up!

I found an app called FlickrFriend which you can use to help – rather than me type out my findings it’s probably easier to download and have a play.

Thanks, you saved my life :-)

What a pity FlickrExport does not export (yet) the position set in iphoto...

A much easier way to do this same thing would be to de-authorize iphoto on your flickr account (thus severing the link, and protecting all photos still on flickr) and then deleting each flickr album in iphoto. This seemed to work for me.
