Voice Memos taking up storage and not deleting!

My phone suddenly started showing 9.25GB of storage for the voice memos app (which is completely empty by the way) and whenever i try to delete the app both from my home screen and from the manage storage section in settings it doesn’t delete and starts showing as com.apple.VoiceMemos and the documents and data remain the same. i’ve tried everything from deleting, reinstalling, offloading, restarting my phone nothing is working and i am so mad my phone has become full to the brim and i can’t use it for anything! APPLE FIX THIS

iPhone 6, iOS 12

I faced a similar problem too. After many trials and errors with various methods here is my conclusion. Before I share this with y'all let me tell you to take note of all Settings of your phone will be reset, so make note of all changes you have made to Settings (Wallpapers, control center, ringtone etc. ). Go to Settings >>General>>Transfer or Reset iPhone>>Reset>>Reset All Settings.
