Stupid google plus on my phone HELP!!? - Moop - 03-20-2014 05:16 AM

Along with a grip of other people out there, google plus just came in and took over. It took ALL the pictures from my phone and 'auto backed them up' and they are still showed on my phone but its like they aren't really there at all. I had some not so appropriate pics on there and they were ALL saved to my google plus account, I was WTF!! so i deleted them from google plus but they still appear on my phone. They are in a file but you cant do anything to them, no deleteing, moving, sharing, or playing the videos. And when you do try to share them it downloads them from god knows where. I am just trying to figure out wtf is going on. Can ANYONE help meee??? I am not tech savvy. At all. My phone despises me. Please please please please I will love you forever and ever to anyone who attempts to help me! I know there are a bunch of intelligent individuals out there!!! Big Grin!
THANK YOUUUU, in advance Big Grin

Google+ automatically backs up images into their cloud much like google drive or drop box on android

Like other applications like Facebook they synchronise to your phones gallery via a data connection and appear in your library, these are not saved locally so if you delete images that are backed up to Google plus or Facebook etc they may still appear in your albums because you've set up sync between apps and your phone this explains why when you try to share photos outside of the app e.g. Picture message it downloads from their cloud to create a local pictire file or a temp file to then send after this is may or may not delete from your phone ans remain backup up online
