google photos wont delete from SD card now.

Out of the blue, my google photos app wont delete from my SD card anymore. Says: Can't delete item. Photos doesn't have access to delete item on your sd card. Go to the gallery app to continue deleting.

I am on Alliance V8 for a while now. No updates or patches installed between when it worked and when it didn't. My guess is that its the app but is there a way around this?
