Is there any way to edit a photo once it is in the “library”? Rotate, delete, etc?

Delete, yes, in very limited circumstances:

1. ‘Allow media deletion’ option is enabled in Server/Library settings. (Plex web)
2. The user logged into Plex is the same user used to log into the server. (Settings/Server/General)

If the above are true, that user, and _only_ that user, will have the option to delete individual media files.

Aside from that, Plex made a deliberate decision to never touch/edit your files in any way. Plex is meant solely as a means of presentation for your media, not editing.
