Settings says I have way more photos than I actually have

i am trying to free up space on my iPad mini ios 8. I deleted all my photos, and also the recently deleted album, but the settings still says I have 1900 photos. I don't want any photos on my device. That is what the cloud should be for

thanks in advance:)

I managed to get rid of the phantom usage. Restoring iPhone and resetting the phone settings/data do not work for me.

I had to move the Date on my phone earlier by 1,2,3 months and found the phantom photos in the Recently Deleted Folder. Next, I deleted the photos manually from the Recently Deleted Folder and the usage got freed up from my iPhone.


Hope this works for you
