Do you need to know how to delete WhatsApp audio, as well as images and videos? Whatsapp is the most downloaded and used android messaging application in the world. Google Play nowadays. Millions of users interact every day with their friends and family, sending text messages, voice messages, as well as images and videos of all kinds and conditions, from photos of trips or celebrations, to videos of jokes, soccer plays and a long etcetera. …
This daily use generates an amount of photographs, images and videos stored on our mobile phone, which sooner or later, especially if we have a device with little internal memory or small SD card, will take their toll, sometimes displaying the dreaded message » no storage space«.
Let's see how to delete that huge amount of images, videos and audios, simply and without any third party application.
How to delete images, videos and audios from WhatsApp
To perform these simple steps, we are going to use the application «my files«, pre-installed on most android phones. Depending on the brand and model, the name of the application may vary. If you can't find it, you can use the Google play app, ES file explorer. Be careful, once this is done, you cannot recover the images and videos in an easy or normal way, another thing is to have to root the phone and use specific applications for recovery of deleted data.
When we open “my files” we follow these steps:
- Click on Device storage.
- We search and choose the WhatsApp folder.
- Click on Media.
- Here several folders will appear, including WhatsApp images, we choose this to delete images.
- Hundreds or thousands of images will appear, to delete them all click on the menu button and click on select all, as seen in the image. We go down the list and remove the selection from the “sent” folder.
Then we can enter the "sent / sent" folder and delete WhatsApp images that we want. After having selected all the images except the “sent” folder, click on the trash can that appears above. After this, it will ask us for confirmation of deleting a large number of images. We accept and the cleaning will begin.
We can do the same with the folder «sent«, we enter it and select one by one or better «select all» so that it deletes everything related to images sent by us through whatsapp.
How to delete WhatsApp audios
The same procedure will work for other folders such as «whatsapp videos» or «Whatsapp voice notes» also called whatsapp audio.
After cleaning, we will see in the photo and video galleries that the WhatsApp one is gone, don't panic, it's normal, we have cleaned all the images received through the messaging app. The moment they send us a photograph again, the "whatsapp" image gallery will appear.
To do it with the app ES file explorer It is practically the same, if we do not find the WhatsApp folder, we can do a search from the application.
Delete entire image galleries and photos
This procedure can be done in latest android versions. We can delete those galleries directly from the image and video galleries. The problem with this procedure, that the entire gallery is deleted, by pressing and holding for a moment on the gallery that we want to delete, it will appear selected and in the upper part we can click on the trash can, thus destroying everything it contains...
We can also enter the gallery and select one by one the images that we want to delete, a problem in this case, that if we have hundreds or thousands, it will take a long time, but we will make sure that we delete the ones that we do not want and We leave the ones that interest us.
With this we will have the gallery clean of all those silly images and videos that are sometimes sent to us and that we do not want them to continue taking up space and being shown in the galleries.
We hope that this guide will be useful for you to have full control of the galleries and know how to delete audios from WhatsApp, as well as from other applications. You can make any comment at the bottom of the article.

[quote name=”Miriam Moreno Rivas”]Before I had an S4 and when I deleted the photos on the WhatsApp they were deleted directly from the gallery. Now I have an S8+ and they are not deleted, I have to delete them twice, from the wasap and from the gallery. How can I do so that from my s8+ when I delete a photo from the wasap it is also deleted from the gallery at the same time?[/quote]
Hello Miriam. I had the same problem and I think (and I say I think because I've tried many things) I solved it by going to settings > applications > whatsapp > apps that can change the settings and activate. I hope you have solved the problem. All the best!!!
DRIVE
Hello, I have very few applications, I use shortcuts and I don't save music or photos. My query is what happens with Drive... there I do have photos and images but I thought it didn't weigh on the mobile. I have 4 G. total and an almost empty SD since I could only pass PFD, Instagram and a collage. It's all wrong...I can't delete INSTAGRAM OR THE COLLAGE. it is checked and I have to restart or turn off... the cache cannot be cleared because it only comes out: loading... and repeats and does not give values.
Many Thanks

Media folder does not appear
Hey.
Today I just needed to clean certain files that are always left over from the WhatsApp application, among all of them recover some audio, but my surprise was that when I entered the WhatsApp folder and then Media, nothing appeared in Media, only a call .Status
What is this about? I don't know if it has to do with the updates that they make to the application or if it will no longer be possible to access it or if it is just a failure of it. Some answer? Thanks!!
