Why are random sections in Google photos showing up as a black picture?

And how the eff can I fix this?! Also, lately a bunch of stupid bs pics have been just showing up by the hundreds. What's causing this, how can I stop it, and is there a simple fix to making them all go away at once rather than manually selecting each one to delete??

I attached screenshots of both problems..
I appreciate the help...

Did you install some type of software with icons in it? Photos will save any type of image to your Google photos also.... And those look to be something of that type

I don't think so, all the icons are from apps I have had for several years, I can see that by going thru all of them....its just recently though, that all these stupid pics started popping up
