This did not work on my Moto phone, where thumbnail accretion is irritating but not causing problems, but the writer has a (rooted) Samsung. I'll be interested if there is a general fix.

at least im not alone - I have to delete them 3-4 times a day and its a real pain. It looks like if you have many photos the thing just gets broke.

I use a file transfer app to microSD, more because certain camera apps (like GCam) won't save photo or video output anywhere except internal storage - with regular uploading to cloud storage the thumbnail cache never interferes with function, though it's still crazy. This app is a little tricky to set up, but once done it's one click to transfer the media as well as empty the thumbnail cache. (I had to manually add DNG file recognition to transfer, but that is doable.)

Doesnt work for me as I used my tablet to showcase my photos so I dont wnat to transfer them- I do as I have no choice, Even if I removed ever app but photo apps I think it will only delay the problem.

I can understand - last I looked I couldn't find any permanent solution.  If many photos are stored, you end up playing whack-a-mole with constantly regenerating caches.
