Why the thumbnails folder is automatically created in my device's internal storage. Although everytime I delete them manually, but they are automatically created again . And there are some other folders also which are automatically generated. Someone suggest me , how to stop this 🙏.
Off your "show hidden files", the thumbnail folder willn't show. Thumbnail is a still image that acts as the preview image for your video, music, or anything. When you see albums image in your music app or still images in video app, it is actually due to thumbnail.
Whenever you look at the photos and videos from ur gallery, it will be saved in thumbnails just for the fast loading when you see the same next time. Sometimes you would have noticed that when u scrolling fast between images(especially bigger size images), it will get loading and will be shown after some seconds. But when u scroll back in the opposite direction( which has already loaded images) will never gets loaded. it will be displayed as soon as u scroll. Because the copies of the images will get loaded in viewing port of gallery app. And images are displayed from that viewing port. That viewing port is called as “.thumbnails” folder. If you delete that folder, none of your medias will get affect. But the loading time when you view those photos and videos again. It will get loaded again and will be displayed in some fraction of seconds.
If you want to stop it permanently then you have to do is follow these instructions.
1. Open ES File Explorer. 2. Make the hidden files viewable. 3. Go to DCIM folder. 4. You'll see thumbails folder, delete it. 5. Now create new file and name it as ".thumbnails" without quote. And you are done.
