I'm going to throw you all a curve ball...
I have followed all instructions in the respective thread in MacRumors...

1. Turn off "photo stream" option under iCloud setting on my iPhone 4
2. Reset "photo stream" in iCloud.com
3. Update iOS on my iPhone 4 to version 5.0.1
4. Hard reset
5. Full restore from backup
... etc, etc
... (and I have done all these steps in several orders and several times)
and I continue to have a Photo Stream Folder on my iPhone 4 with 1,000 pics. Interesting enough I successfully deleted/reset the folder in my other devices (using the same iCloud account). So my other iPhone and two iPads don't have this problem. The Photo Stream Folder either doesn't exist or if I had turn on "photo stream" option under iCloud setting then it is an empty folder with no pics.
My problem is only in ONE of my iPhone where the photo stream folder still exist EVEN with the 'photo stream' option under iCloud "OFF"! and it has 1,000 pics. This 1,000 pics are NOT updating so if I take a new photo it won't replace any pic in my photo stream folder (I'm guessing this happens because the 'photo stream' option is OFF).
Oh, and I have tried to delete the 1,000 pics one by one but I don't see the option of deleting pics in the photo stream folder (not because I don't know how to do it but because the option is not there-- I have done it before from my other devices) even after updating to version 5.0.1.
Not sure what else to do. I think the only option is to do a restore to original settings (without a restore from backup) but I really want to avoid that. I have too many things that I would need to re install taking me forever.
Any thoughts?

You are not going to believe it but I was planning to attach a video to show you all my problem.
I started recording this video with my other iPhone...
I went to "Settings-->General" and then "Software Update" to show that I had the v5.0.1 installed. When I did that I found what I was expecting:
"iOS 5.01.1 Your software is up to date"...
Then I went to the iCloud option under "Settings" and showed that "Photo Stream" was OFF...
Then I went to my "Photos" App... and BOOM! the Photo Stream folder disappeared in front of my eyes!
I had tried some of the steps above before without any luck. The only one that I hadn't tried before was going to the "Software Update" option under "Settings/General"...
I don't know why it worked but it did.
Yeah!!
