New phone - all of a sudden I have 400 old pictures

sljm2011

So I just got the S4 mini after having a basic phone for many years. I was playing around and went into my pictures where I was surprised to find 400+ pictures and videos that I haven't seen in years. I haven't done anything online and had no idea these were being saved anywhere. I deleted a lot of them off of my phone that I didn't want for various reasons but I wonder now if they still exist somewhere. Where did these pictures come from? How did they show up on my phone? How can I delete them permanently if I wanted to?

I am guessing you realized that you had them backed up to google on picassa website?

You are not an idiot. Went to Verizon class...and asked the same question...where'd they come from. I was told I had to delete all those photos that popped up on my new Galaxy 4 photo by photo...I said that didn't make sense, I had 160 photos in one album. Then she told me they were all my Picassa photos and I couldn't remove them from phone, I had to go to to my PC and remove them there...I said that didn't make sense...I had to delete all my photos from my laptop on my Picassa site to get them off my cell...what was I supposed to do with all my photos just delete all my albums and photos....still don't know the answer, will try to remove Picassa app from my cell phone and find another way to handle my photos.
