I have about 3 years worth of photos on my phone that I would like to delete to free up space. I started to transfer them a few at a time into ‘google drive’ and then deleting them off phone (don’t laugh) but this was taking hours. In trying to find an easier and faster I found ‘google photos’ and having a look in there it would seem everything is already backed up including photos I had long since deleted.
As you can see I am seriously technologically challenged so my question is what to do next?
Do I just work in google photos and organise / delete in there? Are they the same quality as the photos on my phone as I would like to print them out / do photo books so they need the the best resolution. When I look at the details the resolution pix seem to match but the mb in google photos seem to be very slightly lower. Looking at the settings I think I have been backing up in high quality when I should have been in in original upload size.
Can I then just delete all my photos off the phone ?
Also, I am sometimes disappointed in the quality of the photos once I have printed them, photos that look bright and clear on my phone always seem to be less defined when printed (6 x 4 so nothing too enlarged) Is there anyway of sharpening photos before printing?

Any help appreciated!

You have to look at the resolution your phone takes photos. Some phones are just not good enough. Things on a phone screen always look sharp but pixelated when enlarged. What phone do you have

I believe the "archive" function in Google Photos removes from the phone, but retains the online copy.
