Can I delete the preloaded pictures?

Like all the default pictures in "My Pictures" and in "My Icons"???
I tried deleting them from My Icons, but a message came up and said something about it's a system file. Is it safe anyway?
Also anything else that's preloaded I could delete??? Let me know!

Anyone? I know you guys here had WM for how long now and thought about doing this or did it already.
Someone has to know if you could or not.

have you tried doing it through activesync? connect your device, hit explore, and start surfing files for unwanted, un-needed crap that takes up space. ive deleted default pictures, wallpapers, sounds, "emoticons", smileys, etc. Just do it through ActiveSync..
hope it helps.

Didn't know all this, thanks for the help man really!!!
EDIT: They don't show up!

try going to your view settings. maybe you missed something there.. it should be in there though.. try and post some screen shots if you can. Try all of the folders and sub folders..

From Windows Mobile Device Center I put my mouse on File Management and then click on browse the contect of your device.
The next windows pops up as if it was from My Computer which I could of done without even going to WMDC. I click on the device storage and the screen shot below shows what's inside. When I click on My Documents/My Pictures or whatever else that would have samples nothing is in those folders.
But all that doesn't matter because I could see them from the device. So what I'm asking is, is it safe to delete them even though a pop up appears saying they are system files?

[Q] Cannot view attachments anymore!

Hello guys, I got a little question...
My computer cannot display the attached pictures properly; when I click on the attachments, a white blank page opens with the text "No input file specified." I tried using FF, Chrome and IE, it's all the same.
Seems like nobody else has this problem... Can you help me?
Thanks in advance!

Try logging out and logging back in? Try clearing your browser cache and cookies?

Already tried clearing them, but unfortunately doesn't work for me... After logging out, still the same.

Can you post the link of the attachment you are trying to view?
It should look something like http://attachments.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=726013&d=1316570603

I'm trying to view the attachments of this post; other people can verify that these are working fine, but I have no clue why my computer can't display them properly.
Update: The attachments redirect me to the link "http://attachments.xda-developers.com/forum/attachment.php...", it seems like the "/forum" part is the problem. When I remove it, the picture is displayed correctly!

Thanks for the info...I've alerted the server admin, and it has now been fixed

Thank you very much, everything is back to normal now!

Requesting Help to Remove redundant images from "Instant Uploads" folder on Phone

Requesting Help to Remove redundant images from "Instant Uploads" folder on Phone
RESOLVED IN THE RESPONSES BELOW - Thanks all
This is really frustrating for a tidy freak like me but:
When I first got this phone, messing around with the camera I took some inane shots of my surroundings thinking I could delete then afterwards. Some of these images went into a folder called "instant uploads". When I went into the folder to delete them there was no option.
Some of the shots were replicated from my main folder, so I deleted them from there. The number of images in instant uploads remained unchanged (13 images) but now I have mostly grey tiles which when I click on them inside instant uploads it says "no thumbnail" There is also a picture in instant uploads that still has the image there, even though its deleted from my phone!
Ive been into picasaweb and deleted images from there and tidied up but still my instant uploads folder on the phone is showing the same 13 images.
Ive been into settings/apps/all and cleared a cache called "media storage", it rebuilt the regular image folder but still this folder of sh*te called "instant uploads" remains.
Can anyone help me clear this up? Ive turned off instant upload now as I dont see it being of use to me personally so i'd really love to get rid of this remnant bloat..

First go into the Google+ app and untick the 'Enable Instant Upload' option in settings. Then go to your Google+ on your computer or in the phones browser, navigate to your instant uploaded photos and delete them from there. I couldn't find any way of deleting them from within the gallery app or the Google+ one.

Beat me to the punch...

This was annoying the hell out of me since i was doing the same and just playing around and then when i came to delete them i just ended up with the gallery still showing photos being there but all of them were just blank with no option to delete like you say.
I managed to get rid of them in the end by doing as stated above, delete them from the pictures from phone folder in the web version on Google+, delete them from web picasa, switch off instant upload in the Google+ app and then clear data for Gallery and Google+ in /settings/apps/all.
I also used Astro file manager to delete all cache in android/data/com.google.android.apps.plus but i dont think this did anything, just thought i wuld add that in too.
All in all i think that is a S*!T way to simply delte some pictures and can imagine quite a few people having the same problem, especially those new to android wanting the new galaxy.

Thanks for chiming in guys.
Tung_meister, i had already deleted the imiages from picsaweb and they are not showing on Google+ so I guess those two are syncing. Id also unticked the instant upload option within settings, The images and grey blank tiles were still there on my phone in the IU folder. I went back into the picsaweb adn deleted the empty folder called instant uploads. Still the images are in the phone!
Dumb Donkey, ive done every step you have shown exept
and then clear data for Gallery and Google+ in /settings/apps/all.

I'll try that now and hopefully resolve the issue. If that fails im gonna do a handset reset. It wont take me that long to get everything as I want, slightly annoying though!
Im thinking maybe I used another email address/account for sharing somehow but dont think so..

That worked Dumb_Donkey cheers! I'd buy you a pint mate haha!
Cleared Google+ which got rid of the photos but it still had an instant upload folder stating "13 files"
Cleared Gallery which zapped the instant uploads folder completely!
Thanks very much mate.
Looks like a syncing issue betweeen phone and web?

Well, I'm pretty late, but just found out you can choose what albums to show via settings. Just choose "phone content" and it's fine.

How the heck do you just view pictures on the actual phone (as opposed to cloud)

I tried to look for a permanant setting for the Gallery to just show pics on the phone itself but it keeps reverting to "ALL" view where it shows my picassa / dropbox. Thank you!

I know that, but it doesn't stick lol... wtf right?

I found the answer myself lol. You need to go in to Cloud in settings and then disable Dropbox sync to gallery.
Now i just have to figure out how to NOT SHOW picassa images

Settings>Google>'Your E-mail here'>Picasa
I don't know if it actually works since i don't use Picasa. but it's worth a shot.

My Sync Internet doesn't seem to sync
desont seem to work ;(

I managed to do it with an app called QuickPic and some adjustments in the settings!
After downloading Quickpic, you go to Settings>S Cloud. There, as the first screenshot shows you disable pics and video sync. (I belive you did that already.)
Then, you go to Settings >Google then you select your mail address and you'll have the options as you can see on the second screenshot. Untick picassa and google photos.
Now it is possible you still see some of your cloud pics on your device. I'm pretty sure you can't delete some of them with the stock galery app. So use Quickpic to delete them.
Hope it helped

Make sure the synching for the Picasa albums is still off, then go into Settings > Application manager. Select the All tab, find Gallery and hit the Clear data button. Next time you open the Gallery, it will take a moment to rebuild it but the Picasa albums should finally be gone.

Any way to stop Facebook photos showing in the gallery?

Lg g4 chrome help

Facebook no longer loads all the way. Is there a way to fix this. Im running chrome. My Internet is fine same with my 4g

had the same error/screen with Metal for facebook, and did an uninstall/reinstall of metal's apk to fix this.

ive tried uninstalling chrone. i did a system reset and nothing worked. as for the system it did fine but i was not able to access google. i couldn't sign in to my account. if theres no fix for this then i guess im going to kdz both my lg g3 and g4

after looking around i saw a post that mention the host file. so i figured to find it sure enough it is.
im not posting the post cause its not for android but it made sense that facebook could be blocked
1. download hosts editor
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tor&pcampaignid=APPU_1_RxTjVePUDsbBggSvuKCoDQ
2. open the hosts editor and type in facebook to narrow down to what you looking for
3. u will see banner. facebook. com check it then deleate
i provided a pic. so you know what to deleate i have it checked already in the pic. hope this helps
