In fact, delete photos (and now videos) from the local cache is very important to keep the internal device space under control, in two cases: (1) after Cloudinary upload or (2) when you are storing data 100% locally and want to delete it! And if I understood correctly in [this post](https://community.thunkable.com/t/how-do-i-make-images-saved-to-stored-variables-persist-between-app-updates/1813651), another issue in PhotoLibrary block is that after you update the app on iOS you loose all local photos. @jared, how about to set this post in the feature request, and the other I mention as ISSUE/BUG ?
