I opened my gallery app yesterday to find an unknown folder.
It's slowing down my Gallery app exponentially, and I can't delete it.
I opened the DCIM folder on my laptop and I can't change the Properties of the file, which means I can't get rid of it.
From what I've seen in the folder-looking through it with MyFiles, most of the content is pictures of unknown people.
Did I somehow manage to download a virus?
I've factory reset my phone, but to no avail.
I've also cleared the cache and deleted data from the Gallery app through Settings.
I'll probably end up formatting my SD card later today, to see if that helps.
I'm using a Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini.
