I have deleted photos from my iPhone 6 but they are still taking up 5.9GB of space. The photos in question were transferred from my iPhone 4 when I got my new phone.
iPhone 6, iOS 8.0.2
Did you also delete them from the Recently Deleted Album in Photos?
Here's how I did it.
First, I backed up my iPad to iTunes, wiped it, then restored it from the iTunes backup, but to no avail. It still showed that I was using about 5gb even though I turned photo stream off and made sure the recently deleted album was empty.
The second thing I tried was backing it up to iCloud. I re-wiped it and restored it from that backup. This worked. It still shows 5kb for some reason, but that's a whole lot better than 5gb! Unfortunately iCloud restoration takes a lot longer than iTunes, but it was the only way I could get it to work.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the help. I was just able to clear the memory using ifunbox. It allowed me to see and delete the mystery photos that were still taking up space.
Deleted photos still take up memory on iPhone 6
