How can it possibly be implemented this badly? Why does deleting photos take so long? What does it do if it doesn’t have enough space to delete photos?

Why does it need to take 7 gigs on my device for pictures I never look at? You can generate thumbnails and dump photos I haven’t looked at in years instead of permanently wasting space on all of my devices.
