A THUMBDATA4-1763508120 file is a data file created by the Gallery app included with select Android phones, such as Samsung J7 and HTC Desire SV. It contains properties about every thumbnail image that have been indexed by the Gallery app to help it load the images quicker.

The THUMBDATA4-1763508120 file is created by the Gallery app to cache information about images that have been indexed. The caching helps the Gallery app load images quicker and reduce lag time when displaying thumbnails. The more images you have in the Gallery app, the larger the THUMBDATA4-1763508120 file size. It may become several GBs in size if you have a large number of thumbnail images in your Gallery app. The file increases in size every time a new image is added. Also, when an image is deleted the indexed properties of the image still remain in the file. To reduce the THUMBDATA4-1763508120 file size, remove images from the Gallery app, then delete the THUMBDATA4-1763508120 file. The file will be regenerated by the Gallery app but only for the images still in the app. If you do not want to remove images from your device, delete the THUMBDATA4-1763508120 file and create a new file in the same .thumbnails folder using a file explorer, such as ES File Explorer. Then, name the file .thumbdata4-1763508120. This will stop the re-creation of the THUMBDATA4-1763508120 file. You can use an Android file manager to navigate to your thumbnail index files, which can be found in the sdcard/DCIM/.thumbnails directory.
