iPhone storage shows gigs of video attachments, but all are deleted

I have an XR, and in my iphone storage in settings, it says I have 4.11 gigs worth of video attachments in my texts, but all of them have been erased. How do I get rid of this storage?

Hello,

If the videos were attached to text messages, and you deleted the text messages, the videos should also be deleted. However try this:

Go to the Photos app on your phone then Albums > Utilities > Recently Deleted. Are they there? If so delete them from there.

Then restart the phone and see this:

Good luck.
