The OneDrive for Android app can remove local copies of the photos on your device to free up some space on your phone for things like apps and music.
Clean Up Space will run automatically once you have at least 1 GB of photos or videos to upload on your device (either by already having them on the device or by taking new ones). A notification will appear on your device offering to Clean up space on your device. Tap Yes under the notification to free up the space on your device.
