Delete Photos and Videos auf OnePlus
Deleting a photo or video on a OnePlus phone does not clear it from storage immediately. The Gallery app moves removed items into a Trash or Recently Deleted folder first, where they stay for 30 days before the system erases them for good.
This delay protects you from accidental taps, but it also means storage space is not freed up right away unless you empty that folder manually. If you need space back instantly, deleting from the Gallery alone is not enough.
Deleting photos or videos
Open Open the Gallery app ➔ Tap and hold a photo/video ➔ Select more photos/videos if desired ➔ Tap on Delete ➔ Confirm with Delete.
You can select multiple items at once by holding the first one and tapping additional photos or videos before confirming. Everything you select moves together into the Recently Deleted folder.
Items backed up to cloud storage or synced to another app may still exist outside the phone even after this step. Check any linked cloud account separately if you want a photo or video gone everywhere.
