Unplug the iPhone and do a hard reset. (if it's not unplugged from iTunes, you could inadvertently put the device in Recovery mode...no good)


Press and hold the home button and the power button for about 7 seconds until the iPhone turns off, then press the power to turn it back on.

Once it's booted back up, plug it in again.

Does this match what iTunes says you have? If it does, try deleting something from the iPhone and see if both areas change.


Also, when I said to hard reset the iPhone, note that there is a difference between holding down the power and swiping the device off, and holding the buttons until it forces the iPhone off. The latter is what I think might help

Here's a thought, your iPhone will keep "Recently Deleted" pictures in your camera roll...Open the Photos app > Tap Albums > Scroll to the bottom and tap Recently Deleted > Tap Select > Delete All


If that doesn't help, then it sounds like you may need to restore the device. If you have already synced the iPhone then there should be a backup on the computer. You can always check in iTunes > Preferences > Devices. (Will be a little different on Windows version)


Then you'll want to follow this article. I would recommend restoring from an iTunes backup as opposed to an iCloud backup
