on the iPhone 6, i am trying to empty photo trash --that is, recently deleted photos, because they are still using 6.5 GB of my storage. These are deleted photos from a recent vacation, but seem to continue using (lots of) space, though I have transferred them to my iMac. I have been thru every setting I can find to try to solve this.
Have you tried to delete the photos directly in the "recently deleted" album? http://help.apple.com/iphone/8/#/iphf14943e
Delete a photo or video from Photos. Tap the Photos tab, tap the photo or video, tap, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. Deleted photos and videos are kept in the Recently Deleted album on iPhone, with a badge showing the remaining days until the item is permanently removed from iPhone. To delete the photo or video permanently before the days expire, tap the item, tap Delete, then tap Delete Photo or Delete Video. If you use iCloud Photo Library, deleted photos and videos are permanently removed from all your devices using iCloud Photo Library with the same Apple ID.
