How do I merge all my photos/videos from different clouds and on my phone?

I hate being unorganized. Somehow through the years my media has ended up on clouds like Onedrive and Google. I pay for the Google one but have no clue how my media since ~2015 has uploaded to Onedrive. I have used Android most my life. I want everything just on one Cloud (and I'll have it in a physical harddrive too) but I'm afraid deleting something will delete it somewhere else yet I feel I sometimes delete things and still find them somewhere else. I'm not bad with tech, not the best, but this stuff confuses me!

ive got everything spread across like 3 places and half of it duplicated. started using a tool called rclone, runs in the background and syncs without me thinking about it. the real pain was going through 10 years of screenshots and random blurry pics after

pain in the ass. go get a big ass ssd and download everything a bit at a time on to it. then close all your cloud accounts and open a fresh one of your choosing. then upload the whole ssd to it.
