hey all,
I'm having a hell of a time getting this thing figured out so thought I'd ask on here.
Basically, I clicked Settings > Storage and noticed 3.46 GB of photos/videos showing in that area (nice purple bar). Since I auto back-up my photos to Google+, I wanted to free up some storage space. I deleted all of the photos on my device and the Gallery showed no photos. Likewise, clicking the Photos app > On Device option showed the lovely "No Photos Found" text.
I went back to Settings > Storage, the photos/videos area still showed 3.16 GB! So I searched for an answer and followed some recommendations:
* I deleted the DCMI > Camera > .thumbnails folder (No good)
* I then added an empty file called .thumbnails to that area so that the thumbnails folder could not be recreated (No good)
* I went to Google+ and deleted the Auto Back-up items that I no longer wanted (No good. Seeing a trend here).
So I ask y'all for a step-by-step guide on how to correct his problem. I am using ES File Explorer to look through all of my storage and my N5 is NOT rooted (not ready for that yet!). Anyway, I appreciate ANY help you can provide.
