deleted photos show up as blank spaces. how to delete

i think problem is that you took pictures on your iphone with "live" switched on, which created the mini video files along with the image file. you downloaded and then deleted the image files, but left the mini video files, orphaned, behind. they have no image file to present so they show up as blank. i just highlight the blank and delete, note it will ask if you 'want to delete the video' which is the clue.

How exactly are you deleting?

The correct way is in photos or all photos select the photos and press delete (or right click and select delete )

If i deleted the photos on my camera prior to download, why do they show up at all?

They shouldn't, and they don't for me. What kind of camera do you have?
