Clearing 'On My iPhone' storage on iPhone 14 Pro

I am running out of storage on my iphone 14 pro and when I look into this the function "On My Iphone" is using 14gb. There is lots of photos/vidos in this that I have already deleted from my phone, some are quite old as well. How can I clear all this to free up some storage on my device please? You can individually delete but this would take me like a day to do.... can this feature also be turned off in the future to stop this happening again?

Troubleshooting iPhone Storage:

Internal storage cannot be upgraded. It is what it is. So, the maximum internal storage capacity never increases, even if you upgraded your iCloud plan. Learn More here: What's the Difference Between Device Storage and iCloud Storage? Apple Support
