Moto Z Force Droid - Camera Error

My Moto Z Force Droid recently started acting up giving me the following message nearly every time I go to use the camera:

Camera Error

Please restart Camera

I'm only using half of the internal storage, 13% of the SD card where the photos are stored.

I've done a clear of the cache. Removed a flashlight app but the error continues.

The only way to clear it is to restart the phone.

Any help in getting a functioning camera would be greatly appreciated.

Being able to use your camera is a must. We are here to help. Did anything change on the phone when the problem started? Any damage to the device?

I believe that I have uninstalled the two apps that I added after I found out that the camera error was occurring. There is no visible damage to the phone itself. It's in near pristine condition.

I can take pictures for as long as I have the camera app open. Once I close it, the Camera Error: Please restart camera error appears.

I'm finding in the File Manager that there are two jpg images which crash the File Manager whenever I try to open them.

Hey Verizon Customer Support! Thanks so much for your interest in my problem.

After multiple attempts to delete the corrupt jpg images I decided to do a hard reset of the phone.

The camera is now performing as it should with no errors.

Now if I could only remember all of the apps that I deleted. One by one I'll find out what I'm missing but thankfully my contacts were retained thanks to Verizon backup.
