Sorry, I have no idea.

Does this happen if emailed or texted?

Something doesn't seem right. She said she deleted 71K ads - grocery store ads & such - filled with pictures, but even after deleting & dumping trash, that only freed up .02 of storage.

Does this seem right to you?

She is not willfully storing anything on the google cloud.
