Deleted photos still showing usage on my IPAD running 6.0.1

I need to free some space on my IPAD 2 running 6.0.1 so I can run an update to newer software. All my usage showed in my photos and camera roll. I deleted over 2000 photos and the camera roll still shows using 8.8GB. There are no photos on the ipad. I'm assuming these are hidden in some "deleted" file somewhere and I can't figure out how to free the space so I can run the back up. Any suggestions?

First, do an iTunes back up of the device... Then, delete all content and settings... Do the update... Restore the back-up, then re sync to iTunes...

In case of full storage, you can update with iTunes. Because iTunes does not request free space on your iDevice for updates
