Has anyone noticed that when u delete a pic from your phone in the gallery, the little tumb nail that u see in the pic gallery is not deleted?

I was just looking through my phone with fexplorer when i found a map with little thumbs of all the pics that where ever in my phone including the selfmade pictures...

i cant remember the map name anymore but it was somewhere in the system maps on the e: disk...

Yes, I do notice that, the folder / subdirectory where this thumbnails is located is "e:\images\_PAlbTN" or on any folder where the picture/images are stored.

What I normally do is just delete the directory or thumbnail to give me some more space in my MMC. But everytime I open the folder Gallery -> Images, the sub-folder "_PAlbTN" and thumbnails will again be created automatically. Guess the thumbnails are needed when we view the images. 😕

Thanks..for the reply..

Then i will delete the map with the tumbs so the old ones are deleted and just the new ones wil be in there ..
Because right now i have like 20 pics in the gallery but over 100 tumbs , so a lot of them can be deleted
