Problem with "thumbnais", and "Square" lot of photos!

[LGSS]

I am with a problem with my photo gallery. It's full of "mini-photos"! In the gallery, have some files named "Thumbnails", "Thumbnails-generic'', and "Square", and i don't know how to stop this photos appears... Any new photo i take, appear lots of the same, in this file named "Thumbnail"

That's probably an app or game, try this

If this does not help,settings-apps-all-media storage,force stop and clear data.Restart.

To avoid these problem in future ,don't  use any memory cleaning app to clear the thumbnail cache

Yeah, i think that was exactly this! I cleaned the folder containing the thumbnails, and after that, this photos began to appear.

Solution exists. I tried and it works. It is easy:

Use some browser on your PHONE (not in computer) for example Total Commander:

1) Create FOLDER with the same name as big thumb file ".thumbdata3--XXXXXXX". NOT FILE, but FOLDER!!!

2) Delete FILE .thumbdata3--XXXXXXXXX (DCIM/.thumbnails/.thumbdata3--XXXXXXXX)

(There will not be possible to have folder and file with the same name in one folder. For example create new folder on different place and move it.)

3) If Total Commander shows the same value of free space in phone, switch OFF and ON the phone (normal way) and look into folder "LOST.DIR". Delete files inside.

Thats all. Enjoy.
