deleted photos still take up storage I have deleted all my pics including from recently deleted and i have 45GB in icloud but still my photos are taking up a lot of space even though there is nothing in the photo album. Please help urgent issue!!
I had this problem for a long time with my 16gb iPhone. After a lot of looking I discovered iExplore and this tip:

Essentially, Photos caches lots of files and due iOS bugs, the caches don't always get cleared up.

I used the solution on the above page and cleared up 2GB of space.
