photo storage/memory help needed!

Under 'manage storage' it says I have used 17.2GB of memory. I only have 1 photo stored and its size is 480KB. Why is it showing 17.2 GB used and how can I get rid of this?

iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 8.2

OTHER

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.

Come back with the results.

An "other" larger than about 1 1/2 GB indicates corrupted files.

Next, usually restoring from backup eliminated the corrupted files. However, sometimes restoring to factory settings/new iPod is required.
