When adding a picture with the camera, Chrome storage increases and doesn't decreases again

Reported by ward.del...@tenforce.com, Apr 28 2017

Issue description

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open Chrome on Android
2. go to a page containing an html input-field that allows you to take a picture
3. check the Data storage in use by Chrome
4. take a picture, and check the Data storage again. This will be higher than before.
5. take another picture, and check the Data storage again. This will be higher than before.
6. This will keep on going

What is the expected behavior?
No Data storage should be occupied by previous pictures that were selected in the input field.

What went wrong?
I do not know enough of Chrome internals to say. But I know that eventually this leads to problems when trying to upload more pictures.

Did this work before? N/A 

Does this work in other browsers? Yes

Chrome version: 58.0.3029.83  Channel: stable
OS Version: 6.0.1
Flash Version:
 
I added a small webpage with node.js server that allows you to verify this issue.

Thanks for the report.
mlamouri: does your media team own <input type=file accept=image/*>?
Some additional information: the data storage only goes up when adding pictures with the camera. This issue does not occur when adding videos or pictures from the gallery.

Thanks in advance for having a look at this!
