My mac says I have 10gb of movies when I have none

I just imported 15 gb of movies and pictures from my go pro so that i could erase the sd card. As soon as i imported i delete all the videos, but they are still showing up on about this mac under storage. Is this a glitch or is something wrong? I restarted the computer to see if it just needed to be refreshed but that didn't work.

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

3. Re-index Macintosh HD.


This will take a while. Wait until it is finished.

Select Macintosh HD and click “Sweep Selected Drive” at the bottom.


Delete the files you don’t want to keep.


Be careful. Delete only the files that can be safely deleted.
