In this video I go over how to remove files from the “Photos Library” folder on an iphone/ipod.
Why You Get Old;
The problem is even when syncing with itunes to delete photos from your iphone the photos still remain on the phone itself, itunes not able to remove them.
I use the program called “IExplorer” to resolve this problem and free up tons of space on your phone!
If…
I literally had 20 gigs of ghost photos
Game changer! Thank you so much for taking the time to create this video
Can it be only done using Mac and PC?
After watching loads of videos and reading loads of articles, this actually works.. Thank you so much.
Well I tried it and I got screwed. All the pictures on my phone that I wanted to save got deleted. They still show up on my phone but only as blurry files with no thumbnails. And even though I freed up some space it still says my pictures are taking up 70 GB which is ridiculous, especially now. So no photos and still a lot of space taken by…who knows what? Fuck you
What is the DCIM folder, though? I have seen Apple100 folders in several places…many of them. They go up into the Apple170s! I have tens of gigabytes of photo files. But it isn’t clear what exactly I’ve already deleted…that never went away…I am afraid to delete these folders all together because I still have pictures I want on my phone. I don’t want it scrubbed completely! How can I permanently delete what was once deleted, and all the extra crap, and be sure to keep what is actually in my camera roll???
All my gallery images are blurred out and I can't even send them to anyone nor I can recover. Any solution to this?
I only have 29 photos and it says it takes up 309 MB, I tried this but it hasn't worked. All my photos are not high quality at all. I've deleted 3/4 of the other ones but the storage hasn't changed. If anybody knows how to fix it please tell me. I have no storage left.
none of these methods are working for me
😀 thank you!!!!
It doesn't work. iPhone 5s iOS 10.3.3
Don't be in denial.. THAT'S NOT A GLITCH. It's how they get people to BUY (give them money!) to have more storage.. the majority of users will never know what's going on.
this video was life saver omg thank you so fucking much
Thank god.
thank youu so so much, works like a charm
Thank you friend! It worked!
You need to purchase iexplorer. i thought that's free.
does this also work for songs??? My songs won't actually go to the trash when I delete them, and I know they're somewhere but I can't see them.
Changing the date back never worked for me, i had lost hope but then i saw this video. THANKYOU !!!!!!!!!
this didnt work for me , i had 8 different apple 1000 folders in my dcim which all contained no files
Thank You sir!
I'm having this issue with my IPad. Will this work with my IPad? Are the steps still the same?
i have a lot of APPLE folders 101APPLE 102APPLE and all of them are empty…. fuck me

none of the solutions are working for me, its annoying having 4.79GB of ghost storage
Alright so I just got a new 6s plus, I told the worker at tmobile to transfer all my photo from my 5c to the new 6s plus. She did it but only 60 photos transfer and it taking up 3.8GB I cant find the rest of it.
There is a better way to do this. Just go to Settings and change the date back some years. All the ghost photos will show right up in the deleted folder, just delete them from there
Thank you man! I was trying for hours to erase it!
won't delete for me
thank you this was useful
thank you.
thank you.
Nice video.thank you
Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. I have been trying to sort this for ages. Could not fit music or app updates on my phone. Just freed up 8GB of space. The Iexplorer has a really helpful support section and I managed to do it with the free version. Took ages for it to load then delete each folder.
Worked like BUTTER, but I too used ifunbox. Iexplorer demo did not work except for a fee
thank you. worked
THANK YOU SO MUCH! I was actually having exactly the same problem.
Thank you! Finally after looking at like 20 vids on this topic. The one that works!! Aplle has become what we all hated about Microsoft in the 90's. This is their "blue screen of death" aggravation!
Thanks a lot. The ghost files were annoying!
You don't need to buy some program to delete phantom photos. Just change the date on your iPhone (make sure that all apps related to photos are closed) and the phantom photos will appear. Delete them and go on your merry way.
Delete button doesn't work?
I'm so tired Apple taking advantage of all non technical people. That's how they're forcing people to buy more cloud storage and upgrade phones. With these so called bugs
I deleted over 1,000 photos on my phone and it still says they're there but they don't show up on iexplorer? Only my current photos show up
