I wonder if it would be possible to download from Flickr the 12 edited
photos you want to keep, and upload them again after you delete the album?

Well, I have to eat my words.
Back in December I transferred 46 family photos taken on Christmas
day from my iPhone to Lightroom on my MacBook. Subsequently I posted
edited versions of 12 photos to an album on Flickr. As I understand
it now, it seems that in the last upgrade of the Flickr mobile app
auto upload was set as default. When I went to Flickr for the first
time in a while yesterday I discovered that the Flickr app had
uploaded all the photos on my phone, including the 46 from Christmas
day, thus overriding the 12 photos that I had edited and uploaded
from Lightroom.
I have reset the app not to auto upload, but It appears the only way
to get rid of the auto upload album on Flickr is to delete all the
photos in it. Doing that would delete that 12 photos uploaded back in
December, though the current copies lack whatever editing I did in
Lightroom. So it seems the only way to get back to square one with
the Christmas album is to go ahead and delete all the photos in the
upload album and then re-upload the 12 edited copies from Lightroom.
A lot of trouble that I should not have been put through.
As one poster on the Flickr help forum suggested, auto upload should
have been an opt-in not an op-out feature. Why anyone would want ALL
the photos they take uploaded to Flickr is beyond me. The assumption
seems to be that every photo we take is perfect.
