Hi again Stephen, just to enlarge,
You can Manage your albums by using the steps below. 

Manage albums. While viewing your album list, tap Edit.

Rename an album: Tap the album name, then enter a new name.

Rearrange albums: Touch to enlarge the album’s thumbnail, then drag it to 
another location.

Delete an album: Tap the Delete button.

Note: You can’t delete albums that Photos creates for you, such as People, 
Places, and Selfies.
