How can I get rid of photo preview that won't go away on my iPhone?

So, I had this problem before and solved it. Even though I deleted the photo and cleared out the previously deleted photos step, I swiped up to quit the app and shut down the iPhone. It still showed up. Phantom file? Anyway to fix this issue is to take another photo, let’s say a blank by covering the camera lens. Go and delete that photo and the phantom preview goes away with it. Exorcist like.


I looked up the problem and the thread was locked. Anyway………
