LinkBack URL
About LinkBacksSo over the last few days I've taken some pictures and now I want to erase them. I actually erased the pictures from astro like I always do. But they still in the gallery. The delete button in gallery is greyed out. They aren't taking up space but then I went to dcim/thumbnails and they r there but won't erase what is going on?

01-20-2011 05:20 AMDelete them with the gallery and the thumbnail will delete also.
Astro has no idea there is a thumbnail associated with the image you delete.A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

01-20-2011 05:35 AMIt's not just Astro. Even if you use the native file manager to delete the photo the thumbnail stays cached in the gallery app until you reboot. This is a bug.

The reason the thumbnail is gone after a reboot is they are recreated upon a reboot.A gun in the hand is better than a cop on the phone.

01-20-2011 06:09 AMCorrect. If you USE the gallery to delete the photo the photo is deleted from the file system and the thumbnail cache is also cleared from the gallery app. But as I said, if you use the file manager to delete the photo the cached thumbnail is NOT deleted from the gallery. This was obviously overlooked in development. As a developer I can tell you that it's a very simple fix so hopefully it will indeed be fixed some day. Originally Posted by Backnblack
