How do I delete pictures from my gallery?

Answered by Jason Smith

To delete photos from your gallery on an Android device, you can follow these simple steps:

1. Open the “Gallery” or “Photos” app on your Android device. This app is usually represented by a square icon with a colorful flower or mountain scenery.

2. Once you have opened the app, you will see different albums or categories. Tap on the album that contains the photo you wish to remove. For example, if the photo is in the “Camera” album, tap on that album.

3. Now, you should see all the photos within the selected album. Find the specific photo you want to delete and tap and hold on it. After a moment, you will see a trash can icon or a delete option appear at the upper-right portion of the screen.

4. Once you see the trash can icon, release your finger. If you see a delete option, tap on it. This will prompt a confirmation message asking if you really want to delete the photo.

5. Confirm your decision by tapping “OK” or “Delete”. The photo will then be deleted from your gallery and will no longer appear in the album or anywhere else on your device.

It’s important to note that the steps may slightly vary depending on the Android device you are using and the version of the operating system. However, the general process should be similar across different devices.

Deleting photos from your gallery can help you free up storage space on your device and organize your photo collection. It’s always a good idea to review your photos before deleting them to make sure you are removing the right ones.
