Update iOS10 to post the photo app shows for 2 GB with no photos

After updating to iOS 10

the photo app is 2 GB. There is no photos or recorded videos, but that's still 2 GB

Hi 38sanjudas,

I understand that you see 2 GB of space used by your Photos app, despite not having anything that is stored. I know it's important to get the most out of your storage space, so I'm happy to help you.

It is important to note that when you delete a photo on your iPhone, it is not permanently deleted and will go to the album recently removed in case it needs to be recovered. If it is not emptied, he can fill and take a storage capacity as well. You can learn more about this in our article here:

Delete photos on your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch - Apple Support

Permanently delete photos

If you want to permanently delete your pictures or your videos within 30 days, you can remove them from the album recently deleted. When you delete a photo in this album, you can't get it back.

  1. Open the Photos app and go to the Albums tab.
  2. Open the recently deleted album and press Select.
  3. Click on each photo or video that you want to permanently delete.
  4. Press DELETE.

Thank you for using communities Support from Apple. See you soon!
