iPhone storage: review large attachments

Why is it almost 2024 and yet we still can’t “select all” when deleting large attachments/photos received by text? Why do I have to waste an hour of my time each month to clear photos that I did not even save onto my phone?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 17

Deleting Large Attachments Does Not Delete Them. I am unable to delete attachments messages, and photos when I’m in IPhone Storage. I have an iOS 14 pro Max. I’ve tried many times to delete “large attachments”, photos, and messages from my iPhone. General>IPhone >Review Large Attachments. So I painstakingly (!) select- one by one- every photo, hit delete, and poof! They’re gone. nO tHey aRe nOt! I back out, recheck “Review Large Attachments” and hey, they’re back. Did this screw up happen after an update? Because I’ve never had this problem before. Please, advise? Fix? Thank you all☀️

After icloud photos reduced to 97 photos, iphone 12 still uses 30GB for storage. My iphone storage was full, due to photos taking up 30GB. I have been deleting photos through icloud over the past 3 days and keeping the phone plugged in. There are now only 97 photos left, after syncing with icloud. The deleted photos album on my phone is empty. But...the 30GB of storage taken up by photos, hasn't reduced at all. Any ideas?
