Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing feature deletion, discard handling, and composition versus association child handling, then verify each acceptance criterion, including nested children, orphaned photos, and the discard confirmation text.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Current situation

When a feature is deleted, its attached photos stay on the device and in the project. This leaves unused files behind, and with the composition relation supported (https://github.com/MerginMaps/mobile/issues/2315) more features will be deleted automatically, so more orphaned photos could pile up.

Proposed solution

When a feature is deleted, delete its attached photos as well. This also applies to child features deleted through a composition relation (for example, if a parent feature is deleted, then its children should be deleted as well)

Acceptance criteria
  • Deleting a feature deletes its attached photo(s)
  • Deleting a parent with composition children deletes the photo(s) of all deleted child features (including nested ones)
  • If child features are created while adding a parent, and the parent is discarded without saving, the photos of those child features are deleted too
  • Deleting a parent with association children does not delete the children's photos (and neither the children, check acceptance criteria of (https://github.com/MerginMaps/mobile/issues/2315)
  • when discarding a parent feature with composition children, the delete confirmation text mentioned that the attached photos will also be deleted
