Android Central Question

Ok, so I deleted Discord and then went to bed. When I woke up, my gallery had a ton of images that were grey and had a warning triangle on it, you know the one. I tried looking at these images and they wouldn't load and continues to stay on the grey warning triangle. I get it, Gallery glitches, so I go to Google Photos. Nothing. Non existent. I go to my file browser. Again. Nothing. I go back to my browser and my around 300 file download folder is now a solid 50 images, with all grey triangle images deleted.

Why did this happen?
Where are my downloads?
What can I do to ensure this will not happen again?
