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

Research direction
Examine the Android app codebase (likely in a mobile subdirectory) for existing permission handling. Review the referenced issue #736 for context. Identify where deletions are attempted and add a notification or dialog to guide the user to enable MANAGE EXTERNAL STORAGE in system settings.
