Gallery app on S4 mini
Can someone explain about the "Data" that the Gallery app uses? I am trying to clear some space off my phone as it is full to the rafters, and the Gallery app is reporting that it is using 5GB on the phone. I suspect it may be inflated due to a corrupt image that was reported as being 2GB big (now deleted).
I would hope that clearing the Gallery data would not delete the actual images and videos stored in various areas of the phone. Is that the case? |

Yes it will delete them from wherever they are.

Actually gillyallen i don't think that's correct. I did some more research and some other threads say that you can delete the data without the pictures being deleted.
So that is what i did and all the pictures are still in place and Gallery is working fine. So no guarantees but it looks like if space is tight and Gallery is hogging a heap of memory, then clearing its data might be a quick and pain-free solution. |
