Stuck out of my phone after running out of storage

p66storage

Hello everyone,
i am experiencing a problem with my Pixel 6 running the latest versions of GrapheneOS.

I forgot my phone record video all night, so now i ran out of storage (getting "storage space running out" on the lockscreen, and after a reboot when i try to unlock the phone with my PIN, the screen flashes a couple of times and it asks for my PIN again, without successfully unlocking.

Is there a way for me to recover my files? if only i could access the gallery i could delete the multiple hours long video and be done with it... do you have any idea how i should proceed as to not lose data?

Thanks

Success! booted into safe mode, then from the drop down menu after a couple of attempts i managed to get into the Settings app by:

opening the drop down menu with toggles like cellular data/flashlight/bluetooth/etc
fully opening the drop down menu by dragging down again
at the right-bottom of the screen there are 3 icons: profile/user selection; SETTINGS; power menu
tap on settings
go to Storage (6th option from the top)
select "Apps"
delete a few Apps that i did not really care about
check the storage (now i had it at 99% -- 127GB used out of 128GB total)
reboot normally

Now the UI loads correctly and everything works! backing up my camera folder to my PC and then deleting it.

Thanks
