How to hide an album?

Once I give away a link to my album (password protected, unlisted), is there a quick way to make the album disappear without actually deleting it?

Changing the password does not quite work. People can still tell the album is there, just won't be able to log in.

A client asked me to delete an album of his photos, so I have to make the album disappear (as far as he is concern). However, if he changes his mind within a short time and ask me to bring it back, I don't want to have to upload the photos all over.

Once he has the unlisted gallery link he'll always get to it. Create a new gallery
and bulk move all the photos to it. Then delete the old one.

In addition to what Allen said, you may also want to turn external linking off so even if he saved any direct links to the photos, they won't work anymore.
