When gallery photos are deleted at the same time, why are Google photos also deleted?

Settings: Check your Google Photos settings to see if the "Back up & sync" feature is enabled. If it is, any deletions in your local gallery will affect your Google Photos library.

Syncing: If you have Google Photos set to back up and sync your photos, any changes you make to the photos on your device (including deletions) will reflect in your Google Photos account. This is because the app is designed to keep your library consistent across devices.

Deleted Items: When you delete a photo from the Google Photos app, it usually goes to the Trash or Bin folder, where it stays for 30 days before being permanently deleted. However, if you delete a photo directly from your device’s gallery and it’s synced, it may be removed from Google Photos immediately.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

To avoid losing photos, you can either pause syncing before deleting or ensure that important photos are stored in a different location before making deletions.

When you delete gallery photos from your device, they may also be deleted from Google Photos if the two are synced. Here’s how it typically works:
