Deleting the "Pictures, videos" & "Misc" in the Internal Storage

Hello everyone. I am trying to make my phone a little bit faster and trying to get rid of that "Your storage is 75% full" notification that pops out every single time.

So, first of all I deleted all types of date I have of Whatsapp which created 1 GB of storage for my phone. Now I'm even looking for some more.

Even though all the photographs/videos I take goes directly to the SD Card, there seems to be a 370 MB of "Pictures, videos" in my internal storage which are possibly the pictures/videos that are created from the apps I've downloaded and used.

(Also there are 742 MB of "Misc" files, which did not fit the screenshot, that I also want to clean a little bit. Will come back to that later)

So I clicked on the "Pictures, videos" button to get rid of that extra 370 MB of files. But, unfortunately, as opposed to what I assumed, it leaded me to the Album.

As you can understand, there are tons of images in the Album, it would be hard to pick the ones that are in the internal storage, one by one in the Album section.

I also used the File Commander and ES File Explorer to sort out all the images. They do sort them, but they include all the images in both the internal storage folders and the SD Card folders and will not tell you which are from the SD Card and vice versa.

So is there a way that is more faster than deleting the pictures one by one, by visiting every each folder in the internal storage?

Secondly, I would like to delete things in the Misc folder that are useless; so these are the things in my Misc:

Not planning to touch Picsart, but I would really appreciate if any of you could tell me what IsoDroid is and if it is harmful to delete IsoDroid.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

ISO droid is something that you have installed,I can see you are also using task killers which we do not recommend people to install.

So, any ideas about how to get rid of "Pictures, videos" section, in a quicker manner?

Can you check when the folder was created? It is probably from some 3rd party app.
