Messages take up so much storage

Apparently, non-existent videos take up 60GB of it. What's really the cause for the 15GBs that Messages is using?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Its gotta be a bug in ios 18 because I know for me when I manually delete texts and from recently deleted folder they arent deleting from the server end. Its suppose to but its not. I know it takes up to 4 days to delete on the server end but its not doing it. I just keep reporting it on the feedback page. It started on ios 18.2 and its still an issue. I have iphone se 2022
