does deleting photos free up space immediately
No — deleting photos and videos moves them to the Recently Deleted album, where they remain for 30 days and still count against your on-device storage the entire time. To reclaim space immediately, open Photos > Collections > Utilities > Recently Deleted, tap Select, then Delete All (on iOS 16+, Face ID or Touch ID is required to view this album).
Câu trả lời ngắn gọn
No — deleting photos and videos moves them to the Recently Deleted album, where they remain for 30 days and still count against your on-device storage the entire time. To reclaim space immediately, open Photos > Collections > Utilities > Recently Deleted, tap Select, then Delete All (on iOS 16+, Face ID or Touch ID is required to view this album). If iCloud Photos is enabled, permanent deletion syncs across all devices and removes items from iCloud storage as well — so double-check before permanently deleting anything you haven't backed up elsewhere.
PicClear helps with this on your iPhone and works on device for privacy — a pay-once app with no subscription. Test it on a real example and check the current App Store listing for details.

FAQ
How long do photos stay in Recently Deleted?
30 days, per Apple's official policy. After 30 days they are permanently and automatically deleted. During those 30 days the items are still stored on your device (and in iCloud if iCloud Photos is on) and count against your storage quota.
Can I recover photos after emptying Recently Deleted?
Not from the device itself. If you have an iCloud Backup or a computer backup (via Finder/iTunes) that was made before the deletion, you could restore from that — but it would overwrite your current device data. There is no 'undelete' option once Recently Deleted is emptied.
If I delete a photo on my iPhone, does it delete from my Mac too?
Yes, if iCloud Photos is enabled on both devices. Deletions (including the 30-day Recently Deleted state) sync across all devices signed in with the same Apple Account. Disabling iCloud Photos on a device before deleting prevents that sync.
