    does immich have an option to automatically delete older, backed-up pics from devices in order to free up space and not worry about running out disk space on smartphone?

    I tried to search the docs and it seems it’s missing

      I’ve not seen that option, but I use syncthing instead of the phone application to sync my photos to a specific folder on my NAS which is then an external library for Immich.

      TBH, I don’t want anything deleting anything automatically.

      I’ll often delete newer pictures of temporary stuff but keep older pictures of my frinds & family, so, that’s not a feature I’d see any value in. It tends to just make me lazy and build up GBs of junk photos on my NAS (and backups…)
