[Q] Deleting photos - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I deleted some pics that I had taken with my GT10.1. Although they are no longer viewable, they still appear in my Gallery, in the thumbnail screen. How do I remove they deleted pics permanently? It may get me in trouble one day!

i know, i got this prob some times.
try this: delete all cache files u find at sdcard/android/data/com.android.sec.gallery3d/cache then reopen the gallery app

a good idea is to get a cache cleaner from the market to clear all cache files in one go

Try to do a wipe cache partiton in Recovery Mode then go to advanced and do wype dalvik cache. Then reboot (you won't loose anything)
If not enough : in parameters > Applications > manage applications > Gallery, appshare : delete files and clear cache (you won't loose anything).
And say us if it's better now
Thank You for an answer. I just try all of this that You write about and nothing changed. I dont know is it important but every time I turn on my phone i have a monit 'process android.phone.com force close' twice and there is no signal on my phone but after a minut signal back to normal. Maybe i should just try to format partition in recovery mode?
I had very similar problem that's how I stumbled into this thread. I could solve my headache as I just had to remember that I had disabled "media scanner", therefore no pictures and videos will be loaded to the gallery!
Please make sure that you have not disabled "media scanner"

[Q] Help! pictures not showing up in gallery

I have never had any problems with gallery not showing the pictures that I have recently added, but today it's not working properly. When I add new pictures, I cannot see them in the gallery. I am still able to see the old pictures in the gallery and I am able to see the new pictures only IF I use "My Files." I have tried a factory reset, but the problem still exists. Does anyone have any suggestions on what the problem might be?
Before anyone asks, I am running the stock 3.1 HC.
strongly suggest this app.... SO much better than the stock gallery

Thanks for the suggestion, but I still want to solve the actual problem and get the pictures to show on the gallery.
Try deleting all the data from /sdcard/Android/com.android.sec.gallery3d
And open the gallery again to rebuild the image cache.
This may work.
I have just checked gallery again and the new pictures are showing up now. This is very odd.... What could have caused the pictures to show up after a certain amount of time instead of showing up right after I transferred them to my tablet? Does anyone have an idea? (Thanks for the suggestions so far!)

new photo thumbnails messed up

anybody else got this problem? when I take a new photo then go to the gallery the thumbnail is nothing like the picture and looks like a mega zoomed in blurred image of some sort, if I open it the correct image loads ok, any fixes? can I delete the thumbnail cache to force it to rebuild them and if so how?
Go to Settings, Applications, All Apps, search the app called media, and then clear it's data, foce cloase it and restart phone. All should be working then.
Thanks,
Rick

the best way is to install SD Maid from Play Store....it has an option to delete all thumbnails in gallery and much more....combine it with Recan Media Root (also from Play Store) to scan and rebuilt back your gallery....
did what was suggested above but it didnt work so I installed a different gallery (im using quickpic) and it worked fine so seems its a problem with quickpic

Q: "No Photos Found" [SOLVED] when using camera gallery icon.

Okay, I noticed I had a huge amount of photos and videos, so I copied and pasted the folders under DCIM to my PC.
Today when i went to take new pictures, I hit the gallery icon at the lower right to review one of them, and it takes me to a page that flashes "camera shots" I think at the top real quick, and then ALBUMS with an arrow pointing down.
It used to show my recent pictures here, but now it shows...
"No photos found"
I've rebooted, I've cleared the camera and gallery settings, but this still exists. Pictures I've taken today are in the appropriate folders, the SD card is mounted, and there isn't a nomedia file in the folder. Help?
I hate gallery. It always does stupid junk like that. If you use USB disk transfer, you have to reboot before it recognizes the external SD. Sometimes, you just have to leave it alone for a few minutes and it will fix itself.
Thanks, yeah, it's been a few days, and about 12 reboots.
They show up in gallery, just not when I hit that shortcut icon.
I take that back, they are NOT showing up in the gallery, but they show up in ES File Explorer.
I also tried clearing HTC Sense settings, no good.
I tried wipe data through Titanium Backup, no help.
Anyone?

Have you tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery?

That did it! Thank you so much, I was really stumped.
I wonder why that worked, and why I didn't think of it?

Where are these files

I have two albums in my gallery that i cant delete that appear to be from google+ (one is an album from my G+ account and the other is a prfile pic) they have a picasa symbol in the lower left corner of the album thumb. . i cant find them anywhere to get rid of them. I have deleted G+ from the phone but the pesky things remain. im a clean freak when it comes to my phone and want the album thumbs gone. it gives me an option to delete everything else but not those. i believe its gonna be a cache somewhere. thanks for any help.
Have you tried going to the pictures, pressing the menu button, and going to "Details"? There is a file path location at the very bottom that should help you out.

just tried it and i get no file location with these...i see hwta youre saying with every other pic. but not these. i think ive narrowed it down to a picasa cache or G+ cache. some of the pics themselves arent even viewable its just the thumbs.
just did a search in ES file for "picasa" and i brought up some ".db" files. can i delete these if picasa is gone?
also i was just digging around in ES file and found the dalvik cache with a load of crap (apps) i have already deleted. can i safely clear it / delete the folder in ES? wont it rebuild on reboot?
