I saved a few pics on Google & it said that they were saved to "my favorite things". Where do I find this ?

:cool: I never heard before about that "Favorite things" storage pics on Google
open your Google photos app and search around, for that feature or storage

It's FAVORITE IMAGES not "things". I too have lost downloads to this. Not in Gallery, photos, Drive, Samsung Files. To quote a book, "Just gone with the wind."
 
Re: Galaxy J7. I have seen this question on here a couple of times but no one has answered it successfully. Does anyone want to try to answer it again? They are not in Gallery, Photos, Drive, Samsung files.
 
If you're talking about Favorites in Google Photos, first you have to favorite at least one photo -- select any photo to make it fullscreen, then tap the star at the upper right. Now go back to the main screen of the Photos app, then tap Albums at the bottom. Favorites will show up at the top.

The response you link to in the other thread applies to photos taken with the cellphone's camera. That's not the question. The OP, and Emyork, are referring to other kinds of images. For example, something you see on a website and try to save it by clicking on it. Whereupon it goes to "Favorite Images," a place that seemingly doesn't exist, or is so well hidden that ordinary mortals abandon the search.

Ok now that I've executed all the obscure navigational maneuvers to find the unfortunate image -- how to delete it?

Tap Favourite Images, three-dot overflow menu top right, Select, Delete.
 
I hope this is what you guys are asking about.....So I hate that they did this. But after an update, the favorites FOLDER is no more. You can still access it. But you have to select the menu (the 3 lines) and select favorites from there. I have not found a way to make it an album again yet. I hate it. Hopefully this helps.

Welcome to Android Central! Which gallery app is that? It looks like the Samsung Gallery app. This thread is about the Google Photos app, where starred Favorites are very easily accessible in the Library tab.
