Iphone Photos Documents and Data

I recently deleted photos off my iphone to clear up space. I backed them up to google photos. When I go to my storage area on my Iphone, my photos still says it has 21GB of storage used for "documents and data" but i have nothing left on my phone. What is this and what can i do to clear the space? thanks

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15
