Welcome to Android Central! The Gallery is not a location -- it relies on a database of images on your phone that is built by the system by scanning all directories for image files. If you want to delete photo files, use a file manager app to go to the /DCIM/Camera directory, then start deleting photo files there.

To get the Gallery app to display images again properly, try going to Settings>Apps​, select Gallery, then Storage, then Clear Cache/Clear Data. Now open Gallery again and wait a few seconds for the database to rebuild.
