I just discovered that OneDrive is saving all my pictures, and I see them all under 'My Files' in different folders. I want to completely remove these photos from OneDrive without them getting deleted from my Samsung Gallery. Whenever I try to delete a folder, it warns me that deleting it will also remove the pictures from my Samsung Gallery. I've already checked and my Gallery isn't synced with OneDrive, so I'm a bit confused. How can I ensure everything is deleted from OneDrive without losing my original photos?

It sounds like you need to break the sync first. I recommend backing up all your photos to an external drive or another cloud service before making any changes. Once your backup is secured, check your sync settings to make sure they're turned off. After breaking the sync, you should be able to delete photos from OneDrive safely without affecting your Samsung Gallery.
Deleting a folder from OneDrive shouldn't remove photos from your Gallery if syncing is off. Just make sure you really have the sync disabled. If you're unsure, it might help to temporarily log out of OneDrive to see if the photos stay in your Gallery—I know it sounds a bit odd, but it could help clarify things.
Thanks! I’ll try logging out. Just to be cautious!
Yeah, definitely check the backup first! Just to be safe, you'll want to confirm that all your images are visible and accessible before messing around with any settings.
