iPhone usage says 5.0 GB used in photos but there's only ~300 there...

Why are they taking up so much space? I just deleted thousands of photos (and yes, I made sure to also delete them from the recently deleted folder as well).

you have any videos?

One that's 30 seconds long. That's still no where close to 5 gb...

Did you restart the phone?

weird. i have 2 videos, and says i have 629 photos that split between camera roll and photo stream and thats only taking up about 755mb. one reason why i didn't want the camera roll feature back because of the double up.

Did you restart the phone?

Still says 5 GB.

Weird.
You might need a restore.

Check your "deleted" photos and fully delete them
