I have a galaxy s9, carrier is sprint, and I recently got a micro sd card for it. I had like 6 GB left of internal storage. After moving some of my pictures and music to the sd card, I noticed that there were new folders of my pictures in my gallery. A literal copy of my folder, with a tiny picture of an ad card on it, letting me know it’s the sd card folder. But when I tried to delete the images in my internal storage pictures folder, they also deleted in my sd card folder. I’m trying to keep files in the sd card and delete them off my internal storage. Is that possible?
Just remove SD card and delete the images from internal storage you want. This is the simple way to remove data.
