iPhone 13, iOS 17

Thank you for the screenshot.
Photos Vs. Photos App:
The photos a local stored. What you see in the Photos app may be items that are installed in iCloud. The Photos app shows both locally-stored items and cloud-stored items.

You are welcome.
How to Rid of the Photos App Storage:
To rid of the Photos app storage, you'd need to either delete them all, or report them all. If you just deleted them, then you only have 30 days to recover them in the Photos app.

Ridding of Some Unneeded Storage:
You can get rid of that dark-gray line. It is called "System Data" (Formerly called "Other" on older iOS versions). Use my User Tip: How to Clear "Other" in your iPhone's Storage - Use Backup - User Tip
