Why is my storage being occupied by ghost files (seems like ghost videos and photos)

[Android Central Question]

I have deleted all photos and videos on my device and the device still says that they are taking up 18g and 18g (appox) on my harddrive, both file manager systems confirm I have no videos or photos on the device, yet still report them as occupying huge amounts of space. I have a screenshot where my file manager says something like "Total storage 64 gb, Used, 9gb, Free 6gb" Very strange.
