I was looking for the same thing when I accidentally deleted a video from Google Photos app a month back. I didn’t find any opensource ones, so I ended up using one from the playstore. Tried a few and turned off wifi before opening them, because I was sure they were going to have a lot of ads and generally don’t want anything uploaded without me knowing.
One app worked (I don’t even remember the name), then deleted it right away.

You can use nextdns to block a lot of ads. Works on unity ads and playstore ads too I believe. Though not on YouTube.
that doesn’t stop them from uploading things in the background.
use Blokada or a PiHole then.
