Deleted photos reappear after reboot, new photos dissapear

Question

I try to delete all the pictures I have on my SD card. I just select all of them and click the trash icon. When I finish, I see an empty folder, as expected. I make a new photo. And then I reboot my mobile phone. When I enter the album I see all the photos I deleted, and the photo I created after the deletion is missing.



Why is this happening?



Edit no 1:



Phone: Sony Xperia XA1



Android 8.0.0



I deleted everything from the Album app



Edit no 2:



I unchecked cloud backup, but still have the same problem. I can erase all photos I have, but after restart they still return in seconds.



Where are they stored? Can I erase them manually?



Edit no 3:



Here's what I tried so far. Provided by someone from the talk.sonymobile.com forum:



settings > apps & notifications > all apps > album > storage > clear data > restart the phone > check again.



Did not work.

Answer

Well, it appears the SD card stopped recording new data. Here's how I get to this point:




  1. I ejected the microSD card from the phone.

  2. Using a MicroSD to USB I inserted it to my computer.

  3. I tried to delete the data, the adapter, inserted it again - noticed nothing has changed.

  4. I tried to format the MicroSD, ejected the adapter, inserted it again - noticed nothing has changed.



I bought a new SD card, copied the backup (applications and stuff) to the new one. Photos work as they should.
