Question How to prevent Pics deleted from memory also being deleted from sd-card?

[android?]

I'm attempting to gain more internal memory space by moving pics onto my SD card but when I delete the pic from the phone's memory it also deletes from the SD card - what is the correct procedure? Tks

Welcome to Android Central! How are you moving the pics and then trying to delete the ones on the phone? Are you using a file manager app, the Google Photos app, or something else?

When you move pictures from your phone's internal memory to the SD card, it's important to use the correct procedure to avoid accidental deletion.
Instead of using the default gallery app, try using a file manager app. Open the file manager, locate the pictures you want to move, and select the option to move or copy them to the SD card.
This way, the pictures will remain on the SD card even if you delete them from the phone's internal memory.
