Understanding Deletion Methods
The Samsung Gallery app allows you to delete hundreds of photos in seconds using its bulk selection feature. However, deleting photos from your Samsung Galaxy requires separate actions for local storage, Samsung Cloud, and Google Photos backup.
Local vs Cloud Deletion
When you delete photos from your Gallery app, they're only removed from your phone's local storage. To permanently delete them from all locations, you need to manage each storage location separately.
Automation Options
Samsung's Device care feature includes automatic storage optimization that can help manage photo storage without manual intervention. Regular maintenance using bulk selection, proper cloud management, and strategic use of the trash feature helps keep your device running smoothly.
