When you share a picture with an app, a copy of the image is opened in that app. When you share a picture a person, it's sent to them via email from your PC. Go to Settings > Features > Photos and turn off the toggle next to Allow this app to delete photos from my phone.

While the photo is being deleted from your Android device, it will be greyed out in the Phone Link app and removed from view once the process is complete. Right-click the photo that you'd like to delete.Ĭonfirm Delete photo on the confirmation screen, or choose Cancel if you've changed your mind.

Now, you can delete individual photos on your Android device directly from your PC by using the Phone Link app. Photos are deleted from your Android device’s local storage only - any photos that you delete won’t be removed from any cloud backups that you have. On your Android device, accept the prompt to transfer the file. In the window that opens, select your Android device, then select Next. Right-click the image and select Send to > Bluetooth device. In File Explorer, navigate to the location of the edited photo, then select the file. Select Start, and type File Explorer in the Search box. You can easily send the edited version of the image back to your Android device:
