[Hidden-tech] Droid phone storage issue

Tue Nov 23 00:02:58 UTC 2021

Thanks, Rob and Rich. After checking that Dropbox (where my photos are
automatically backed up) was up-to-date, I cleared both the cache and
storage. It means I no longer have ANY photos on the phone except the most
recent one I took today, but I can get them from Dropbox or my backed up
copy on external drive.
