Description

When uploading the whole camera roll, you could enable the automatic deletion of files/photos after they are uploaded. This way, when you are uploading tens of gigabytes of photos, the upload won't get interrupted and crashed by the lack of storage notification.

Steps to reproduce the issue this would solve: Try to clean up your device by uploading the 70 gigabytes of photos and videos having it crash halfway through due to the lack of space you are trying to gain.

Start by tracing the camera-roll automatic upload flow and how it handles storage exhaustion. Define completion as successfully uploaded photos and videos being deleted automatically without interrupting the remaining upload; verify behavior for a large upload and interrupted or failed items.
