I can't delete photos
I have an iPhone 4S .
I only have 3 gbs of storage left on my iPhone
So I deleted all photos and video from the Photos app on the iPhone.
I emptied all photos from the "Recently Deleted" album.
After visual inspection the photo app / camera roll the iPhone appears empty.
I can't find any photos or videos but I did not gain any storage space.
I reset the iPhone (home key and sleep wake) but I did not gain any storage space again.
I did NOT reset to factory setting because I don't want to lose my data.
I connected the iPhone to my laptop and I opened iPhoto.
Under devices iPhone there are no photos or videos to import.
The iPhone is empty of photos or video according to iPhoto on the Mac
I connected the iPhone to my laptop and I opened Preview.
Nothing there. Empty.
I opened Image Capture.
Nothing there. Empty.
I connected the iPhone to my laptop and I opened iTunes.
According to iTunes there are 512 photos still on my iPhone!
I unchecked Sync Photos. Checked it again. And then unchecked it again.
There was no Apply button only a Sync button. So I clicked the Sync button.
No change. iTune still reads that I have 512 photos on the iPhone.
I checked to see if there were any photos on iCloud. None.
I checked to see if the iCloud settings on the phone were set for photo.
It is not set for photo-iCloud.
Why does my iPhone (thru iTunes) still show that I have 512 photos that
I clearly deleted? Why can't I gain more storage space?
Thanks
iPhone 4S, iOS 8.1
