    How can I delete the Featured Photos album completely from my albums?

    Community Answer
    It isn't possible; however, you can delete your past featured photos by going to Featured Photos album. Then, click on the grey pencil on the top right of an individual photo and select Delete Photo. It'll delete that photo from your Featured Photos album.
