Can not free up storage space after deleting all photo

I experienced similar problem of memory space not getting released after deleting huge numbers of photos and videos. After sufficient research found out that by selecting-> Camera -> All Photos -> recently deleted and then selecting -> Delete All released the space.

Apple have informed me that my iPhone is running out of storage space. I have deleted a lot of my videos and many of my apps, yet I am still notify that my iPhone is running out of storage space. This is very confusing and annoying. Can the Apple team rectify this for me. I'm an 86year old man and am not computer savvy.

I face the same issue but specific to WhatsApp .. so I went into whatsapp > settings> Data and Storage Usage > Storage Usage where I found different whatsapp groups holding some data in ascending order to their associate data size.

Here If you open any specific whatsapp group with higher data consumption, where the data classification will show you what feature is holding how much data. e.g Photos 9.6 MB , GIF 2 MB , Videos 500 MB , Voice Messages 4 MB , Documents 100MB etc..

here User can manage this by clicking on 'Manage' button...
My observation is deleting data associated with 'Documents' is freeing up lot of space
hope this helps

Thanks

This has been an issue with every iPhone Inhave ever had. Apple does not fix it, I will be switching to Samsung Galaxy in the coming weeks when's i get paid. I am done with Apple, they take for granted their loyal customer base and do not solve these issues. What they want to do, is sell you bigger phones, so you spend more money on bigger devices.

I am having the same issue. I tried to sync my phone to and empty folder on the desktop and it didn't work. This "photo library" is taking up so much room and I have no idea how to get rid of it.

Same problems here, deleted all photos, emptied recently deleted photos, synched with iTunes, iPhoto library is empty, but I still show 10 GB - 877 photos after the it

unes sync.

Same exact.

Hello,

look here:

icloud photo data stuck on icloud.com

greetings

Exactly the same issue here. Usage show 4.4G in photo and video after I deleted all of them.

My phone is having a similar issue. I have not tried syncing to itunes yet, but will soon.

Or delete an app.

I think that WePhoneMA must have solved the problem in the 5 months since the post you responded to.

Why don't you just follow the instructions from the link in the post you just responded to?

I have informed the good folks at Apple through a channel available to me. I'm assuming it will eventually be fixed. But I have no direct knowledge.

Thanks very much Laurence! You ended my frustration about this photo/internal storage problem.
