Hello folks ^^ really hoping y'all can help me out here
Phone is Samsung GS5
Model is SM-G900P
Version is 6.0.1
I am currently unable to delete vids thru 'My Files', also unable to delete them with samsungs 'Gallery' or directly from the camera. I was able to somehow delete ONE with googles 'Photos' before it to started say 'failed to delete'. I tested deleting some pics to make sure it was only the vid files being affected, pics delete fine.
I just tried hooking up to the comp and deleting them via windows and got message saying that 'the storage is write-protected'(DCIM folder). I just transfered and deleted files this exact same way from this exact same folder a couple weeks ago!
I do seem to be able to delete them via 'Kies'. But having to do this every time i want to delete a vid is insane! Plz say somebody has some insight in to why i'm suddenly unable to delete video files?!
EDIT: Ok, nevermind. Kies did NOT delete the vids!!! They appeared deleted from the PC side but when i went to check the phone all vids were still persent!!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!!!!
UPDATE 8/22/16: AAAAAAAAHHH! I am going to snap this phone in half and throw it in the ocean!!!
Some how i managed to get the videos to stay deleted for a couple days? I mean i didnt see them in the gallery, or in 'my files', and the phone was saying i had 11GB more of free space on my SD. But, today i was trying to transfer some apps to my SD card and POOF! They're all back! The full files, i can watch them and everything. It managed to f up the app transfers and none of those apps are accessible now.
Now, i can go in to 'my files' and 'delete' them and once again nothing can see them but as soon as i restart the phone they're back!
Im so confused! I dont even know what to do any more. With these vids my SD is completely full! I need that space! And its not even like these are virus laden movies that i torrented or anything, they're all personal vids from a vacation!
