As already suggested, look at some other Android gallery apps that offer more control and disable the default app, which may not offer what storage or folders to view. Simple Gallery or the Pro version will do what you want, as will QP Gallery https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/mod-app-gallery-quickpic-2020.3790425/

You don't explain how much you know about getting around Android OS, apps or computers. But Simple Gallery is available free on the Google Play Store or Simple Gallery Pro is free at F-Droid (Google it). Go into SETTINGS for whatever app you choose and configure the folder settings, it to include or exclude folders. Do a Google web or YouTube search for tutorials if your user guide doesn't discuss it.

Another way, is to keep using your default gallery app but use a file manager and place this text, .nomedia (period nomedia) in the SD card root or whatever folder(s) that you do not want to show up on the SD card. Again, not sure what you know or are capable of with Android file manager or other file manager apps but it is extremely quick to do. Then just delete that text if you want the photos to appear again. Or just remove the offending image folders off the SD card?
