[Hidden-tech] Droid phone storage issue

Tue Nov 23 01:10:02 UTC 2021

And actually, it must have still been deleting the cached photos, because
20 minutes later, all the pictures I *hadn't* deleted were back--but I've
turned Google backup off and when I deleted one of today's photos, I didn't
get the "almost full, this will be permanent" message. Yay!

One oddity is it's not asking me if I want to save changes when it offers
to fix lighting--just to save to a copy. I suspect that has to do with
turning off Google backup.
