Out of all the other normal and samsung apps, the camera app is taking huge storage.

It will not delete the images but after cleaning.. if you open the app..it will consume the same amount of memory again..

FIXED solution.  My Galaxy  consumed 4.8GB. it keep increasing for every photos which are edited.  If we delete data storage of the Camera app, it will reappear back , they cannot delete. After update software from Android 13 to 14, The settings  -> Battery & device care -> Storage -> it show the option to delete THE INVISIBLE Backup, after complete this option, the Camera app data storage will be reclaimed into MB.

After one year past, more detial is here. 
Because Samsung app Camera, Gallery, Photo Editor stored the orginal of every pictures we edited in every folders (not only DCIM/Camera) so that the user can do the revert to the orginal any times. These storages were counted under the Camera app. If you took photo with the watermark, crop, add text, change brightness , etc, the Samsung will keep the one original picture in their INVISIABLE backup which no utility tool to acccess these storage. After UI6.1 the user can reclaim these invisible storages and you will not revert to the orginal for the edited pictures. For user before UI 5,  you need to revert the edited pictures to the original pictures one by one.
