I just deleted 8 gigs of pictures off my phone and it does not reflect in the storage

I was having warnings on my phone that I was running out of space. So I deleted over 8 gigs of pictures, downloads, etc.
The storage is pretty much the exact same!

What is going on and how do I clear the space???
