When I deleted a photo in my Device(Note 4), the photo also being deleted from my google backup

[AC Question]

When I delete a photo from the google photo from my device storage, usually it will not affect the backup at google photo in my google account. But this time when I delete the photo from my device, the same photo in the google backup photo also being deleted.

Hi, welcome to the forums! If you want to delete a picture just from the phone you could try this. Open Google photos, long press on the picture, tap on the three dots top right and select delete device copy.

You can also access the local files via the slide out menu and selecting 'Device Folders'
