Delete Photos or Videos from Gallery auf Xiaomi

Photos and videos accumulate quickly in the Gallery app, especially after screenshots, downloads, and camera bursts. Once internal storage runs low, deleting unneeded media is the fastest fix without touching system settings.

The Gallery app lets you remove single items or select several at once, which saves time when clearing out duplicates or old screenshots. This works the same way whether you are freeing up space or just tidying your library.

Steps to delete photos or videos

Open Tap on Gallery and locate the photo or video you want to remove. Press and hold the thumbnail to activate selection mode.

Tap and hold a Photo/VideoSelect more Photos/Videos if you want to remove multiple files in one go. Tap any additional thumbnails to add them to the selection.

Once everything is marked, confirm with Tap on DeleteTap on Delete to finish the removal.

Deleted items usually move to a recently-deleted folder for a limited time before permanent removal, so accidental deletions can often still be recovered shortly after.

Frequently asked questions

Deleted photos and videos are usually kept in a Trash or Recently deleted folder inside Gallery for a limited number of days. Open that folder and restore the file before it gets permanently removed.
