How to remove Photos under Settings > iPad Storage?

I transferred ipad photos to mac using a USB drive , and I thought deleted from the ipad, but about 64gb of them remain. screenshot attached. Is there a way I can remove them?
thank you.

Photos are managed in the Photos app. You need to go there to delete them.

Understood, but, when I went back into Photos just now, there were only two items - screen captures I took yesterday, and no hint or trace of anything else. No trash to empty…IOW, the photos I thought I deleted appear good and deleted from within Photos; however from the iPad’s point of view, a whole lotta sumpin is still in there, with no apparent means of deleting it.

All I can think of is restarting the iPad and see if that clears up the memory.

Edit: looks like you already checked the “recently deleted” folder.

Yes, I did. I also restarted the iPad per twerppoet’s advice, and that seemed to help. Now shows only 4GB being used, not 64GB, but Photos contains only 2 items: screen captures, which in no way occupy 4GB between them.

Does the iPad need to “think things over” so to speak before it can be sure of how much it contains?
