13gb of Photos on my phone after unticking sync

Sorry, really garbled question but I don't know how else to word it.


There are 13gb of photos in my 'photo library', i.e. the stuff that's synced with my mac, not photo stream, camera roll or anything else. I believe these photos to be stuck, since in iTunes I have unticked the box that says 'Sync Photos'.


I've researched other solutions and nothing has worked. I've reset my phone several times. Synced the photos, then unsynced them and they're still there.


I really don't want to have to go down the route of erasing all content and starting again. It's a drain on my time and I can't be bothered. This has happened before on my iPad as well as the issue of having an enormous 'Other' category (2.35gb at present). This iTunes syncing is just a mess. Sorry, I digress.


Hoping someone can point me in the right direction.


thanks

iPhone 6, iOS 8
