delete 50GB videos does not free up any space

My phone's memory is low so I deleted about 50gb of videos(100+ videos with 4k 60mps) but my memory still says only 100mb left.

I waited over 10 hours for my memory to become 10GB, repeatedly restart my iPhone but it still doesn’t free up any space which it should be. I don't understand where the rest of my memory went. I confirmed that I deleted the recent deletion album.😭

Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support
