Guys quick question - my cousin mistakenly deleted the WhatsApp Images folder from my phone (I checked via usb, folder is still there, though only Sent images). The WhatsApp Images folder itself is missing from the Gallery app.
Anyone know how I can recover the WhatsApp Images folder or all the images that were deleted.

I have an Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android 2.33. I put on Google+ app and that was a mistake. It created a folder in my gallery called Instant Upload [with 70 pictures]. I would really like to delete the folder but I am not able and I don't know where the folder is kept. I tried searching with windows explorer and couldn't find the pictures or where the folder is on my phone. I went to Google+ site on my pc and erased the pictures there but still can't erase on my phone. Please help.
Even i also have the same problem, i am not able to delete instant upload folder as well as profile photos folder too from my SGS2 mobile. I tried to delete all the apps and cleared all the memory from my SD card. The problem is i can delete both the folders but again when i open my gallery it ll show the deleted files again. So please help.

hi builder,
finally i found the solution for this, it sounds wired but it ll work 100%.
just follow the following steps, and before doing this i recommend u to take backup of all the data from your phone.
settings>privacy>factory data reset>check (format usb storage)>reset phone.
hope this will help you.

Thanks. It worked but it was a major pain. Google should have made it easier to get rid of. It is like using a bomb to get rid of a fly.
Hello,
I rooted my TF 700 and upgraded to JB, delete loads of rubbish, now the tablet flies. However I got a problem with gallery app:
It dose not show any of the images I copied to tablet, the pictures I took from camera shows up the gallery but other images I copied do no show up.
I tried different galley apps all got the same problem, I tried media rescan app as well did not solve the problem.
Just wandering anyone got any ideas?
You help is much appreciated.
How did you copy the images, and into which folder? Do the files show up in the file manager at the expected location (/sdcard/Pictures usually)?

I copy the files into the same folder as where camera images stores, yes the files show up in file manager and I can open it.

You need to copy to your picture folder (/sdcard/Pictures).
Try rebooting the device. Android does a media scan when booting up, and it should pick up the new pictures at that point.

i open gallery lock it still shows the folder names and the no. of files it has/had.. but when i open it, files are still there but i cannot preview/open them. please help with gallery lock and s note files..
Guyz,
I recently Manually backed-up Full Whatsapp folder, by connecting phone to the PC.
Later after few days, I again transferred the whole folder in the phone -> Downloaded Whatsapp frm play store -> upon first start it asked "To restore frm backup" -> and all went fine.
Now problem is, All my chats and pictures are there inside the App...... but earlier there was a "Whatsapp folder in my gallery", where it showed all pictures present in Whatsapp, which is now missing.
So basically now I cant surf images directly frm tht gallery folder and have to find each and every image manually frm chats.
May I knw how can I fix this ?
Plz help me
UPDATE: I re-installed Whatsapp without my old backup and still when my frnd sent me sum photos, none of the photos are appearing in Whatsapp folder in My Gallery, as the folder is missing there..... So is this a new change OR a bug ?
I didn't start having this problem until i loaded an app called "CLEAN SWEEP, and " Whats APP".. does any one of these apps change some properties that are hard to find that now makes any of my pictures i download from my messaging app, or camera go straight to "MY FILES" instead of showing in MY GALLERY like they used to do. I have deleted the old download folder to see if it wold start a new one , and it did, but still is not showing up in my gallery, just my files. the only pics showing up in my gallery are the ones on my sd card. can some one please help us out here.. galaxy s5 owner

Check the folder where you stored your pics...
For a file called "no media" if u found that delete it...
If this doesn't work delete the . thumbnail folder in DCIM folder.....this should work...
But to see that file or folder.. Hidden files must be shown via file manager...
If you not found that connect ur device to pc or laptop then delete that folder....
Hope this helps

Ok I just want to make sure of no catastrophic failures, lol.. I opened "my files" clicked device storage, and scrolled all the way to last files listed without opening any folder, and I see a file called .nomedia, is this the file? You did say open a folder to find this file, but in this case its not in a folder. 2, I clicked on .thumbnails in the DCIM folder and I see images, when I delete this file, will I now loose these images? I am awaiting further instructions before I do anything, because I have moved to quickly before and lost a lot of images before.. Please and thank you for your assistance.

If u delete images in . thumbnail folder.... Your images will be fine....its just a cache folder which is generated to show images on gallery... Dont worry u can delete it and delete the. Nomedia file....
And u will get your images...
