How to delete photo albums when I have no space left and app updates pending???

I have like 50Mb left on my iPad. I have a few large apps and many small ones. I want to update Max Payne but I don't have enough space left tog et the update. So wanting to clear up some space I went to iTunes and ticked off a bunch of photo albums.

This would free up a lot of space, but when synchronizing it seems iTunes FIRST wants to update my apps and THEN it will delete the photos. But since I lack space to update the apps, iTunes just stops the sync. when it finds out it cannot install these updates.. Thus it never even gets to the process of deleting my photos (which is kind of retarded..).

So, without deleting the large apps and losing all my saves / app data, how can I delete my photo albums to free up more space? I know it sounds ridiculous but I'm kinda stuck here :/

Thanks, but if I remove the apps then won't I lose all the data/saves within those apps? Like in Max Payne for instance, it would suck to have to start all over from losing my save

I seem to recall that when syncing you could uncheck the iPhoto albums you wanted to remove, and then click Apply at the bottom right corner.

I think it will initiate its normal syncing thing but you can click the little circle-X in the iTunes window when it say that it's syncing your apps. I don't think this will necessarily cancel the sync at that point, but it will move it along to the next step would would be to deal with your photos, etc.

Like I said, this is just from memory a couple years ago, not sure if it'll help.

Alright, will give this a shot tomorrow. I don't have any videos or music on my iPad, it's all apps and photos (which I can't delete directly - that would have solved everything)
