I've been backing up all my photos onto my computer and then deleting them off my iPhone 5s in order to clean up space on the phone. I literally have only 12 photos left on the phone now and no videos. Nothing in the Recently Deleted album. I have about 80 Shared Albums with maybe 2,000 photos in them total, but my understanding is that they're stored in iCloud rather than locally on the device.
Yet when I go into Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage > Manage Storage, I see that Photos & Camera is still occupying 516 MB of space. When I tap on that, Photo Library is virtually all of it: 514 MB.
Any idea why with almost no photos on the phone, the Photo Library is over half a gigabyte in size? I've done a force restart and there's no change afterwards. I'm running the latest iOS - 9.3.4. Thanks for any thoughts.
