Can't Delete Thumbnails from Gallery - Picture and Video have been deleted

Am looking for any insight on how to clear thumbnails of pictures/videos from my gallery that have already been deleted off my phone.  I have already tried powering off/on my phone, removing/replacing my battery and unmounting/remounting SD card.  Have also tried going to Settings> Applications> Gallery and then clearing the data to see if it would reset the gallery but the thumbnails remain.  Also went to the Gallery> All photos (and All videos)> Menu> Select Items and checked  the photos and videos I wanted removed and then tried to delete them again but still the thumbnails remain.  Any other ideas would be much appreciated.  Thanks

You have to reboot, if it still doesnt remove the files then you have to fix this issue by going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications/All Tab/ Media Storage and then clear the Cache, then reboot and then open gallery and allow images to be scanned and added back to te gallery (This may take a little time depending on the number of files)


This also resets the notifications alerts so the ringers and alerts have to be reset...
