I’m not deleting them. They’re uploaded to the cloud at the time of creation. I also move them off my phone to my computer every 6 months or so - I do this just in case the upload to the cloud has ever silently failed. I deduplicate the images, so I don’t have multiple versions of the same image with different file names.
For me it’s not entirely about space. I rarely let the device get more than 2/3rds full. It’s also about speed. If I want to pull a photo/video off my phone, it seems sluggish when there are thousandths of files in that one directory.
Who need that much storage on their phone? Honestly asking.
I won’t mind that much storage, the 256GB I have are nearly full.
I’m using a 128GB phone and it’s never full. But I export photos And videos off it once every 6 months. If I didn’t I’d need 1TB phone.
Once every 6 months?
So at any one time you could lose 6 months of photos?
Or do you have a regular sync to somewhere, and this is just space freeing?

Phones don’t have (full size) SD card slots, this is for cameras and such.
