@Sheroo You have already perform a factory reset according to your older posts.

Indeed a factory reset will erase all internal memory.

Hi Sheroo,

Just to add here, a factory reset only removes content from the Internal Storage(unless specified during the process). So if you are trying to remove content from the SD card, then this is not the best option.

Let us know, what exactly you are trying to achieve so we can help further.

Iam talking only about interna memory , there are folders called thumbnails with files included in it like pictures which i have deleted before . During process i choose erase internal memory. Now i want to khow the pictures in theses folders are deleted with factory reset or not because i have read that thumbnails folder comes again after deletion.

It will be recreated, but that's for your photos from SD card.

You mean that even hidden pictures in thumbnails folders are gone with factory reset , but these folders are recreated again with pictures on sd memory or new picures on internal . Am i right?!

Yes, as far as I know thumbnails are created for every image you have on your device, unless there is a .nomedia file in a folder.
