I downloaded a picture, and I don't know where to find it so that I can delete it. Can you tell me where that would be exactly and how to get there?
Thank you very much

Downloaded how? Browser? App? Have you tried any of the several file system apps? Some of them will let you search by "last changed" date. – Al Everett Feb 16 at 17:50

A picture for reading? Umm... If it's really a picture, you might find it in the gallery. – Izzy Feb 16 at 23:19

There is not much info but here is what you could do to find your "picture":

ES File Explorer File Manager has a search function which you could use to search your lost file.

Android has a LOST.DIR directory similar to lost+found from Linux. You could also search there (set in es file explorer : settings -> show hidden files).

If you are a terminal fan, you could use find command.

Probably your browser saved your picture to a temp location so that file is deleted anyway. If it's truly a picture, see Izzy's comment.

If you are using Default android browser your files will be inside /sdcard/Download.

But when you use chrome/chrome beta browser you file is downloaded to another path /sdcard/Android/data/com.chrome.beta(or com.chrome)/files/Download/.

Please check there also. Else you can find that image with in your Gallery (Izzy's comment).
