Deleted photos keep coming back on my iPhone 12

I recently updated to iOS 17, I am trying to delete photos, they deleted but now have come back, I have my iCloud Photos off, why are they coming back after deletion, they pop up with the iCloud sync picture before they appeared, but my iCloud Photos are off, I have even signed out of my iCloud. They keep coming back.

Hello lee-rabs95,


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities and for sharing these details. That doesn't sound like expected behavior. Allow us to assist by recommending some troubleshooting steps you can try. To start, let's attempt the steps below:


1.) When you delete your photos, they will appear int he Recently Deleted albums. Delete them from there too and see if this unexpected behavior continues to occur.

2.) If they do return, try closing out the Photos app and then refresh things by restarting your iPhone: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support

3.) Additionally, if you have any new iOS 17 updates available, please install them. Updates do include various fixes that could help out and sort this issue out: Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support
