"She is inarticulate, unable to explain either feelings or actions"

Yes, she IS inarticulate. It's one of the things that frustrates me about her character. But I think it's also IN character for her. That her life since her suspension has been so different from the life she's planned (or had planned for her) her entire life, that she's having trouble processing it all and making sense of it for herself, let alone be able to explicate it for other people who can't see into her head to see how she's feeling. She's not entirely sure herself how she's feeling, or where she wants to go with her life.

Y'know, I just realized the photo deleting makes perfect sense for someone who just wants a clean slate, to start over again. It would make me CRAZY to completely lose a part of my life like that (I literally groaned "No!" when she hit delete in that scene), but it's clear that's what Joan wants. Take a look at her room - it's practically ascetic, it's so empty. She's going for a clean slate in the most literal sense.
