Photos

[night66owl]

My gallery pics are backed up to google photos. I just spent the past couple hours deleting pics from google photos because deleting in the gallery app doesn't delete them from the backup.
Are there any other options to delete backed up pics when deleting from the phone gallery? I don't want to turn off having them backed up incase something happens to my phone, but I also don't want to have a couple thousand pics that I have to go thru to delete.

The best approach would be to delete the photos using the Google Photos app, not the Gallery app. That will remove them from both the cloud and your phone's storage (if it's still on there).
