iPhone Storage Issue, Glitch or Simple Solve?

I am very confused, even when I use iCloud Photos, it still says I have over 200 photos “restoring” to my photos app. I just today deleted almost all my photos. I have 2 remaining. It still says I have 75 GB of photos storage.

Hi there ThatOneVideoGuy,


Thank you for posting to Apple Support Communities.


We understand that you're trying to manage your iCloud Photos.


If you've deleted many photos, be sure to check your "Recently Deleted" folder to be sure that is cleared as well, as photos that are still in there for up to 30 days can take up space.


A good way to check this is by also visiting iCloud Photos using a web browser on a computer or Mac at iCloud Photos


This should help. Let us know if you have any questions.


Take care.
