Why does my iPhone still think I have 7gb of pictures on it even after I deleted all of them? [closed]

I didn't have any space left on iCloud so I went to check what's going on there. I saw that my iPhone was taking up a lot of storage. My storage for pictures was still 7gb even after I deleted all of my pictures. I'm not even sharing any pictures and I also deleted all of my recently deleted pictures. All of them. Why is it still showing me under "usage" that I have 7gbs? I'm not able to backup my phone because I apparently I don't have any space when really I don't have 7gbs of pictures.

Solution 1:

Make sure to look in the recently deleted album. They stay there for 30 days unless you go in there and delete them permanently.
