Hi, If unknown photos and videos are appearing in your Samsung Galaxy S23+ Gallery, it could be due to various reasons such as app glitches or unintended downloads. To eliminate them, try these steps:

1. **Check Recently Added:**
Go to your Gallery app and check the "Recently Added" or "Downloads" folder. Remove any unfamiliar media.

2. **Third-Party Apps:**
Review recently installed apps, especially those related to media or file management. Uninstall any suspicious apps.

3. **File Explorer:**
Use a file explorer app to navigate through your device storage. Look for and delete any unfamiliar files.

4. **Clear Cache:**
Go to Settings > Apps > Gallery > Storage > Clear Cache. This may help in case of any temporary data causing the issue.

5. **Security Scan:**
Run a security scan using your device's built-in security features or install a reputable antivirus app to check for malware.

Remember to back up your important data before making any significant changes to ensure you don't lose any valuable information.
