Why when saving pictures to your ad card, why are they still on your internal memory

After saving pictures to my sd card, why are they still on my internal memory. Using Samsung galaxy On 5.

They probably aren't on the phone. I just spoke to someone in a different thread about this issue with this same phone. It seems that even when you have moved them to its card, they register as being in the memory. However if you pull the card, they no long show on the devices memory. Seems like a glitch in that particular model of phone.

A way around it would be to leave the card in the phone and move the files either to a cloud account or a computer, and wipe all trace of them off the phone and card after you confirm they are on the computer or in the cloud. Then restart the phone. Once it is done restarting take them back from the cloud account or computer and put them directly on the card only (while it is still in the phone). Never having put them on the phone again.
