How do you make sure pics from secure folder don’t appear in google photos? Is there a way to not make them aware on google photos?
Uninstall Google photos from inside the secure folder, or log out of your Google account inside the SF

People are fooled by the numerous videos on Youtube on how to remove those annoying Picasa photos from being seen on your device. But all those videos show the exact same instructions which only remove the photos from syncing to that device. It does not delete them. Once you buy a new phone, those photos will show up again.
I would like to know where they are coming from. and delete them permanently.
All photos backed up from your phone are in Google+ Photos. If you delete them there it will ask you if you want to delete the photo everywhere.

Use an app called Picasa Tools. From there you can change the albums to Hangouts. Select and delete the pictures you want.
I'm guessing that any Picasa gallery app would work?
There are a few ways to delete from Picasa.
1) open google photos. delete from there. It will warn you that it will delete pictures even off of your device, however.
also remember to open the side menu and empty the trash, they don't get deleted immediately.
2)go to your google + photos on an actual computer. you can delete them through there without worrying about them being deleted from your phone. However, if you have auto backup on, it'll just reup them again anyways.
to change what gets uploaded, open the side menu in google photos, go down to "on device" and uncheck(disable the cloud icon) the folders you don't want backed up. if you don't want any backing up, make sure you turn off the photo syncing in your google account settings on your phone. (settings - accounts - google - *your account* - uncheck Sync Google + Photos) Then clear the cache on your gallery app and reload the app, it'll all be gone.
If they keep reappearing try this: Get on a desktop computer > sign into google account > go to picasaweb.google.com/lh/myphotos?noredirect=1 and delete the actual photos at the source.
It will give a huge list of the places that the photo is being deleted from! Caution: this deletes the photos from EVERYWHERE including blogger posts, etc
I have picasa web albums set to never sync through gallery and settings>accounts, Google photos is removed, drive set to never sync photos, and still when an app wants me to upload a picture my old picasa photos fill up the selection screen. Is there a way I can disable that or is it just a curse of android?

Iv a weird thing going on with picasa. It shows on my home screen as picasa but when I check out the app info from within app management it shows as Google+ and it shows the same data as cache etc for it.
The weird thing is I'm pretty sure I disabled or hid picasa but after stock root it popped back up on my unhidden apps list. Any ideas?

first in settings, check for the apps and disable the ones you dont want... it will say disabled to the right of it.
second, i have been using an app from the playstore called nobloat free version and then i disable the bloat this way also...
but i acutally go to the system/app and system/priv-app and delete the unnecessary files (bloat ware or apps that I can get from the playstore, cause i have on TB or MyBackup, then for the missing or remainder of the files I find out with nobloat the other file names and then delete the files also.
This way I make a nice clean Stock Debloated Version with TWRP. and save that for when ever I want to start clean..
There's an easy way to disable through settings but I forgot and have been too lazy to look it up again. You should be able to find with a little Google investigating. When you find it, please share with the rest of us lazy bums.
Is there some way to change the default location that screenshots get saved to?
I dont want google photo's to back up my screenshots, but I cant find a way to remove that option...
The default location is Pictures > Screenshots in Device Storage.
If we can't find any settings about this location, is it possible to have google photos disabled to find these photos?

I am using Secure Folder function on S10+.
I installed bank apps within the secure folder.
I linked my account (same account as outside secure folder) in Google play store for apps update.
I setup 2FA for google account, so when I login Gmail, my phone will pop up for login approvals.
Now the 2FA actually pop up at the same time, but with the Secure Folder one on the top, which show I need to enter password to go to Secure Folder. This is annoying.
Any method that I can switch off the secure folder google notifications?
I tried disabled Google Play Service notification in secure folder but the 2FA in secure folder still showing.
Anyone could help?
Many Thanks.
anybody could help please?
When you move files from the Google Photos Cloud to Private Folder (it is a feature of Google Photos), they are removed from the cloud and stored locally on phone
So where exactly? That path can be reached through root?
And files are encrypted or not?
Maybe someone investigate this before?
I would like to know as well.
I had to factory reset my phone, and Swift Backup got my secure folder from Google Photos back, so it must be saved anywhere in local.
