Description
I'm trying to remove videos after they have been uploaded using react-native-fs. Even though react-native-fs is unlinking the file and it cannot be accessed anymore, the memory footprint for the app does not change. Is there a way to remove the recorded video files?
I raised this issue with react-native-fs repo but it might have something to do with where the videos are stored.

Research direction
Start by tracing where recorded videos are stored and how deletion is handled after upload; the issue does not name a source file or test. Review the linked react-native-fs discussion for storage-related context. Done means uploaded recordings can be removed from the device without the reported memory footprint remaining.
