Q: 5.7 GB of storage is being used for the Photos & Camera app, even though I have NO photos. Why is this???
I ran out of storage on my phone the other day. So I went to "settings->general->usage->manage storage" and it said that 6.8 GB were being used in Photos & Camera. So, I transferred all my photos and videos onto my computer and then deleted all of them on my iPhone. Problem solved right...... No. With all photos and videos gone there is still 5.7 GB being used in Photos & Camera. Why is this and how can it be fixed????
iPhone 5, iOS 8.2

One of our fellow users (txforever) found a solution to this.
Go to Settings>General>Date & Time> and set your date back to September of 2014
Return to your photos. Although it may appear as if there are no photos there (it may read "0"), there should be some that need to be deleted.
