English technical guide: Google Photos Delete App Also Deletes Device Photo
This page is the English companion to the corresponding SolQvia Japan guide. It preserves the diagnostic boundary used by the Japanese article: distinguish device settings, carrier/account conditions, radio compatibility and service provisioning instead of treating them as one problem.
Recommended diagnostic order
- Separate device storage from cloud-account quota.
- Check Trash/Recently Deleted and ownership before assuming deletion freed quota.
- Confirm whether sync mirrors deletions across devices.
- Protect local originals before disabling sync or removing an account.
- Re-check quota after the service finishes processing deletions or plan changes.
Important boundary
Do not treat a single successful check as proof of full compatibility. SIM recognition, mobile data, voice, SMS, eSIM provisioning, APN and 5G can succeed or fail independently. Preserve a known-good state before factory reset, eSIM deletion or account removal.
