Description

Describe the enhancement you'd like It looks like you can only activate MANAGE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE in the settings. Notify the user to do that, if he wants to delete backed up images.

Describe why this will benefit the LibrePhotos This will lead to less confusion on why the app behaves the way it does.

Additional context Follow-up issue from #736

Contributor guide

Research direction
