I don't need it at all, it just requires extra thousand touches to delete a photo. ***
iPhone 5c, iOS 8
When I delete a photo, it is because I don't want it to be seen. Why is it still on my iPad for apparently the next month? I need this turned off.
I can't begin to describe my frustration that someone thought this was a good idea.
Worst feature ever -- unless there's a way to turn it off.
Yes, and based on so so many posts here about people trying to recover accidentally deleted files and photos it is a good thing.
You may not need it, but tons of people do, because accidents do happen.
When you accidentally delete an important file for any reason you'll want to be able to get it back easily.
I'm assuming it was added to a peace all those users who wanted to have a way to get back photos that they deleted by mistake.
Yes, not everybody needs a recently deleted bin, but for now all that can be done is to go into the Recently Deleted Album and Select all and then delete.
It may not be the best choice, but its the only one for now.
If you wish to send feedback to Apple about this, you can do so here:
Maybe they'll implement a way to turn it off in subsequent updates.

Turning it open by Default seems like a good thing for those who want this. But for people like us, who don't want to use it would like to see an option to disable it, it's called Flexibility.
And Apple has never been a big proponent of "Flexibility". I'm not sure why, after all these years, that comes as a surprise to anyone.
Submit your feedback to Apple here:
Perhaps if enough people complain, they will change it.
Hey good news guys with iOS 11 files app you now have to delete your documents twice too!!😖😡
OK, here's how to delete them.
press "Select" in the top right corner
Then "Delete All" at top left.
I know, about as intuitive as advanced statistics - I'm not "selecting" anything. but hey, whatever random word in whatever random location is the trend lately.
Why you don't call it the "TRASH" and put "EMPTY TRASH" like the rest of your products I will never know.
I'm sure some soi-disant "brilliant designer" was thinking they won't have a job if they say just use a trash can.
But at least it's now 3 times harder to delete something, because, you know, stupid people.
The worst part for me is that there is a preview of the deleted photo as the folder icon. I can MAYBE understand having a trash for people who accidentally delete photos, and having to empty that trash can. But WHY would someone think it's a good idea to broadcast what's inside? Maybe some photos are deleted because...you know. You don't want them to be seen. They really need to change this feature, either by giving users the option to toggle it on or off, or by changing the display so you can't see the first photo in plain view
I delete photos and videos thinking that I clear my storage and it winds up in the recently deleted file, still taking up space.
HEY APPLE, GO BACK TO THE OLD WAYS OF WHEN PEOPLE DELETE PHOTOS ACCIDENTALLY, THATS THEIR OWN **** FAULT. WE DONT NEED A STUPID SAFTEY NET FOR ALL THE UNWANTED PICTURES ON OUR PHONES!
It was implemented because of the THOUSANDS of complaints from users who wanted a way to get their photos back when they accidentally deleted them. Apparently, Apple can't make its users happy no matter what they do :-/

How very true!
Open the Recently Deleted album, tap Select. Tap Delete All (lower left on iPhone; upper right on iPad).
I think the point is not "how" to delete those photos but "why" we have to delete them twice. The "recently deleted" folder concept itself *****.
agree, and thank you apple for putting ***** where the "dirty" word was, now I get to imagine all kinds of filthy things lungboy thinks about your design.
How can I get rid of RECENTLY DELETED folder in my photos?
