How do I delete corrupted file from Galaxy S7 that is hiding my downloaded album in my gallery?

[Android Central Question]

I recently downloaded a video on my Galaxy S7 that would help me with fixing a component on my car. After deleting the video from my phone, the file must have been corrupted because it is now hiding the entire "Downloaded" gallery on my phone. When I go to "My Files" my downloaded images are still there yet I ca't see them in the Gallery app. I recently downloaded a test image and the same video, and the "Downloaded" album reappeared again. But when I deleted them, the album disappeared again. I can see the corrupted file, and when I try to delete it, it says that it can not be deleted or downloaded from the cloud. Please help as I cannnot delete the file or have my "Downloaded" album reappear again.

First, don't delete files from Gallery, use your file manager instead.

Second, go to Google Photos and delete any files that are there and shouldn't be.

Then restart the phone.

Welcome to Android Central! Also, using your file manager, see if there's a file called .nomedia in the /Download directory.
