Phantom Photos? iPhone 5c / iTunes showing more photos than there are
Phantom Photos? iPhone 5c / iTunes showing more photos than there are
While trying to be a good housekeeper, I deleted almost all of the photos from my iPhone 5c (IOS 8.1.3) camera roll to clean things up and free up space.
iTunes and my iPhone's Usage for Photos are still showing that I'm using over 3GB of storage for photos (515 photos), but there are only 22 images on my phone, copied from iTunes sync.
I've done everything I can think of:
- Backed up and restored my iPhone entirely
- Unchecked "synch photos" in iTunes and applied and synched; no change
- Tried synching photos to an empty folder in iTunes
- I removed all photo apps I had (Cam Wow, etc.)
- Deleted all my iMessages
- Checked that there is nothing left in Deleted Photos
- I do not use iCloud, nor am I signed into it, but I double-checked that too
If I look at my Internal Storage folder on my PC, it shows the one lonely photo I took to get my internal storage to appear on my computer.
Does anyone know how to clear out the "phantom photos" that are taking up valuable space on my iPhone?
I've seen post after post about this on the internet, so I think this is a big problem Apple! No one seems to have the solution!
Thanks for any help you can provide community!
