It sounds like you are concerned about the 3.9 KB in storage you are seeing that your photos are using. That is a tiny amount of space. I wold recommend you look for other places to delete data from. This article will help you locate other apps that are using space so you can check that out:
See how much storage you've used on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

My phone keeps giving me a notification that my storage is almost full. It looks like the photos & camera are taking up most of the space, however I only have 99 photos on the phone and photo streaming is turned off, but it still has 3.9KB used space under shared photo stream. How do I delete this?
1 gigabyte = 1024 megabytes. 1 megabyte = 1024 kilobytes.
1 gigabyte = 1048576 kilobytes.
3.9 KB is 0.38% of a MB, and 0.00037% of a GB
If your iPhone is a 8GB model, then you are literally worrying about 0.000046% of the device's total space.
Or, to look at it another way, an 8GB iPhone has 8,388,608 kilobytes of total space. Are you really concerned about less than 4 KB out of 8.3 Million?
Or... Let's say that you had $83,886.08 in your bank account. Would you worry about trying to find the nickel that rolled under the fridge?
