Clear space by removing photos taken on my Android phone that are backed up to Google Drive: Open Google Photos, tap on the account profile icon top right, tap on ‘Free up space’ then tap the ‘Free up XX.XX’ button. (All recently taken photos can still be seen in Google Photos as before, but these are thumbnails. If the phone is not connected to WiFi or mobile internet/mobile data, a photo can’t be edited as it needs to be downloaded first)
