Try contacting your phone to a computer and delete it from there.

How can I delete all my whatsapp pictures on Android? I can't seem to figure out how and its close to 30k pictures so taking up alot of room.
Also is there any way to stop them from saving into gallery?
Using the oneplus if that makes a difference
Use Astro file manager. It always did the job when I had issues with other ones.

I tried all the obvious solutions already. I can't seem to delete the while folder at once.
Get the "memory map" app, it will show you the big folder and delete it if you want.

Correct.
What about selecting one photo and then checking the box next to "X selected" to select all?

android, got rid of that lag when forwarding/sending audio/video/pics and now also allows the forward and sending of an item to multiple people/groups at the same time.
