Separate disposable captures from personal photography

Screenshots often have a different retention value from camera photos, so a dedicated category can make review decisions faster and more intentional.

Use scanning before deleting

CleanX can scan and categorize the library without automatically removing media, allowing the user to inspect what was found first.

Deletion still requires explicit confirmation

Items selected for removal pass through CleanX confirmation and then Apple's system Photos confirmation before they move to Recently Deleted.
