Hello There, ive faced same problem, however ive managed to solved it, what i did i found a folder "recently deleted " inside the Photo Apps and i just cleared it up and the space increased. I believe the folder act as detour for all recently deleted pictures before it is deleted permenently in after certain periods, not sure how long. This might be the safety cautions for those that with quicky fingers accidentally deleting their pictures resulting best moments lost so that they can be retrieve if notice earlier.
