Photos uses 30 GB of storage

Hi!

I used to have a lot of photos on my phone (like 6000+) but the storage was full, so I deleted more than half (now have like 2000 photos) but it is still using more than 30 GB of storage (the same as when there was 6000+ photos)

How can I reduce this ? I already turned on the ''optimize storage'' option when it comes to synchronisation with iCloud...

Thanks for your help!

Have you deleted the pictures from the Recently Deleted album? If so, then it may be that the phone just takes a while to catch up on calculating sizes. Have you tried re-starting the phone?
