Hi, if anyone can help with my issue id really appreciate it.

ITS DRIVING ME NUTS :(

I believe this issue not to be specific to the HTC One but Ive never had it before.

The issue is that I keep getting random photo albums appearing in my gallery.
The photos look to be cached images, say from apps and that sort of things.
Everytime i go in and delete them and check back later, I have more.

Ive searched Google and cant find a solution.

HELP :confused:

Check and see what Google syncs.. Sometimes Google + photos snyc to gallery, picaso photos or whatever their called.. So uncheck them and then clear data on gallery apk..
Same with other apps you have accounts with

I had this problem too. Only way I could solve it was to press menu button at the gallery home screen and select show/hide albums. Select the ones you want to display and return to gallery.

There was an update today to the Gallery! I'd say update it and see if it fixes your issues.

Install quickpic from the play store and "hide" the folders with the offending images in.

They are usually from apps that have images in them.,

Once hidden in quickpic they will not appear in gallery

Same here

I have the same issue this Cache folder keeps coming back and most frustrating part is that all these photos are uploaded to G+.

I have another issue as well with SD card. I delete files from External SD card and it keeps coming back this happens only when I copy some files from my PC to SD Card.

Anyone has any solution to this?

possible sollution

had the same problem, I browse a lot on 9gag ( images and crap), look at gallery and found aprox, 1700 images and 500 mp4 (gif) i browsed acros.

I just delete them every time but maybe this helps

settings---account/synchronise---google---( click your gmail account)---

when in your google account it says in syncs data from
-agenda
-apps
-automatic back-up
-chrome
-contacts-
-drive
-gmail
-google...
-...
-....

experiment with unchecking some of these like uncheck the syncs app data of chrome

If fixed it with installing ES file explorer and added .nomedia file to android/data/
Rebooted device and everything seems to work like it should...
No cache files in gallery :)

Download es file explorer from the play store, add a new file and name it (.nomedia) WITHOUT THE BRACKETS!
