LG G3 deleted photos reappearing

[CTalman]

All photos I take are automatically backed up to Google photos.

When I have deleted photos from Google photos or even from the gallery on the g3 sometimes these deleted pictures will reappear. It might be a week later or longer?!?

Has anyone else experienced this?

The pictures on my phone are saved to an sd card and also backed up as described above.

Could it be linked somehow to Google photos?

Cheers,
Chris.

You have to first delete it on device then delete it on Google Photos. Otherwise Google photos will re download the pictures..

Sent using my Verizon Turbo charged 64GB Ballistic Nylon phone unfortunately with a case on back

Thanks. Although I'm sure in some cases I have deleted from the phone and theyve come back.
Also why when you delete from Google photos I thought it saod "are you sure? about to delete from all locations including your phone"?
I'll have another look.
Thanks for the reply.

It can be baffling. A useful option would be something like "Delete From The Entire Universe".

I have the same problem. I have deleted them several times, and they always come back.

Not just me then! Very puzzling! I will try and delete them from the phone and then Google photos....
I'll let you know if I notice it happens again!

I think I finally have an answer. Go to Settings, then along the top go to Accounts, then to Backup and Reset at the bottom. Take off the check mark on automatic restore. Once you have deleted your pictures on your first device and check to make sure that they are deleted off your other devices then you may recheck it. I have lots of these pictures that keep reappearing so have to delete many images before I recheck that so at least it seems as though it may work. GOOD LUCK!
