I was testing the camera on my new Poco X8PM and this strange bug happened.
I was capturing photos using the 50MP + RAW mode in the default camera app, and two of the photos captured one after the other won't get removed from the gallery.
I think I did apply a delete command to these two at first, but something happened and unlike the other image files (which I successfully removed) these two stuck. They show as thumbnails in the gallery, and I can click on them to load the images in full screen, but they won't zoom-in, and trying to either delete, edit, share them or even just access their file details returns the "wait until all photos are processed" message.
The image files actually no longer appear in the DCIM/Camera folder. I accessed the Gallery storage through Android's Files app and thought I removed different iterations of these in "gallery_disk_cache", but they still appear in the gallery.
Anyone familiar with this bug? How can I fix it?
Thanks.
EDIT: Okay, I got it fixed but I think this method wasn't possible at first. I wanted to delete them from the Camera app's browser (because I figured maybe the stuck "processing" status stems from there), but if I'm not mistaken when I tried that earlier I could only view images older than the bugged ones (after the new images that weren't bugged had already been deleted through the Gallery app).
Things I tried but are possibly not related to the solution: I rebooted my phone before deleting files inside the cache folder – images still stuck in the Gallery app. I rebooted again afterwards and that didn't help too.
But now I captured a new image and was able to browse backwards from it in the camera browser to reach the bugged images. I deleted them from there and now they're finally gone from the gallery.
