One of the flaws of Andoird and probably <spit> Apple is that the apps (programs) cannot run from external memory ie a Micro SD card but photos can be stored in the internal memory or external memory(ie SD card) so external memory is just about essential for such memory gobbling things as photos.
The tablet has a file manager built in to enable you to move things about but you also need to tell the apps (and the built in camera) themselves to store their data on the external memory (some cannot anyway)
That should release a lot of that internal memory.

I now want the notebook as it is more portable than the lappy and can do virtually everything it can do and has a bigger memory 320 gb ... lappy is really old and only got 75 gb but I have only used 32 gb of that !!!! I'm not a techie so don't download music/films, etc.
Notebook and laptop are just synonyms for the same thing; basically the size is dictated by the screen so if you want a smaller device you get a smaller screen. In my photo in an earlier message you see my laptops, the biggest screen is 14" because I want them for portability I have a desktop for power and screen size. However for my kids their laptop is their only computer so they tend to get 17" and larger screens and hence a bigger device.

I think it's all to do with Google+ !!!!
Anyway all I will say is I love my tablet and couldn't live without it !!!
I suspect you have a program like Dropbox sharing your photos among the three devices, unfortunately as you say deleting something on one deletes it on all. There are ways round this but you will have to Google it to find out what they are.
BTW the three photo programs are looking at the same image not three separate identical images you should be able to decide which program/app is your favourite an remove or ignore the other two.
It took me a looooong time to even like my tablet(s) I find the restrictions and fiddly way of doing things which are so simple on a Windows device very annoying. However I am warming to them though I still prefer using my netbook I do use one to watch movies on trains, planes or in bed and to read and reply to emails.
My old tablet is now set up for my Grandson - with educational games and things he likes in a mode where he can't change anything or download anything by mistake..
