And certainly, the caches that the Gallery App generates one time are very small. But if you don't clear them regularly, these caches will become a huge trash which would take up a lot of space of the device.
What's worse, the caches will cause some issues also. For example, you will be unable to open and use the Gallery application smoothly and fail to view the pictures that you have saved in it. When the device detects such kind of file, it would not scan the folder so the files like photos in that folder won't appear in the Gallery App. Thus, you need to make sure whether you have put the wanted pictures in the Nomedia file when you cannot see them in Gallery.
How to Delete Photos from Google Photos? The most common situation is that the pictures in Gallery are corrupted due to the App caches so you are unable to open and view them successfully. In order to solve this problem, you need to delete the caches and useless data of the Gallery App. This is an easy way to see where your downloads are stored by default. Connect your Android device to your computer with a USB cable, and within a few seconds, you should see a prompt appear offering to show you the contents of the device you connected.
Click on the one that allows you to see the contents of your Android device. Click on the Phone option and scroll down until you find the Downloads folder.
Just open it and do whatever you please. You downloaded an image last week but accidentally erased it from your device. To recover that image, open Chrome, tap the three-dotted menu icon at the top right corner, then tap Downloads to see your list of downloads from the browser. The new and much-improved Microsoft Edge browser is slowly making inroads on Android, and makes it relatively easy to find your downloads. Firefox makes it just as easy to find your downloads. Once you have the browser open, tap on the three vertical dots at the top-right or bottom-right, depending on your personal setup of your display.

Once you've located your downloaded files, you can open a file with a tap, or bring up more options with a long-press on the file.
If you don't like the default file manager app on your Android phone, or it doesn't have one, download the Files by Google app formerly Files Go from the Play Store. The app is easy to navigate, provides quick access to your downloads folder and helps you free up storage space. When you open Files by Google, the app will recommend various options like clearing out app caches, removing junk files or deleting backed-up photos from your device.
There's even an AirDrop-like file-sharing feature baked into the app that makes it really easy to share files with someone who is nearby. With this option enabled, the computer cannot locate and import your images. You therefore now need to select the option that allows the transfer of your photos. Typically, this is File Transfer. Again, this setting may differ between phones. For example, on many Samsung phones, you have the option of transferring files or transferring images.
If this is the case, make sure to select Transferring Images when importing your photos. After choosing the transfer option, Windows Photos — or your preferred app — should now recognise your phone and pictures and allow you to import them.
