Mobile Operating System: Android 8.1.0
Desktop Operating System: Windows 10 Home (Version 1709)
Exact Lightroom Version (Help menu > System Info): Classic 7.2
When I take photos with Lightroom Mobile on my Android phone, the DNG files are stored in the directory DCIM / LightroomCamera. If I delete the photos using LR mobile, the original DNG files stay in that directory, needlessly taking up space. Is there any way, from within the Lightroom app, to purge those files?
I notice that there is an option on the main menu labelled "Device Info & Storage", and under that, an option to "Manage Storage", but when I choose that, I just see a mostly empty screen with the text "No Albums Available". What does that mean? What is the "Manage Storage" option supposed to do?
There is also a "Clear Cache" option, which doesn't appear to have any effect on those files either.
I assume I can just go into that directory and manually delete the files, but it seems strange that I should have to do that.
