Is it possible to delete a photo or an album created via Google Photos API?

There does not seem to be any way of removing created photos or albums even when full access is grated to the program.

Delete support is vital for the Photos API to be complete. Lack of delete functionality really limits the usefulness of the API. It's no good to be able to create things but ask the user to delete them manually.

Am I overlooking something and there is a way to remove pictures and albums?

Thank you!

Not only you cannot remove the whole album, you cannot remove the photos themselves. Yes, you can only remove them from a particular album, but they still be stored in google photos.

The Google Photos Library API does not currently have an option to delete an album or a media item from the library.

There's a feature request on the issue tracker here: https://issuetracker.google.com/109759781

(You can 'star' this issue to draw attention to it and be notified of any updates.)
