Samsung j3 permanently delete photos

I deleted some pictures on my phone to free up space and instead it lowered it.

Not sure what you are asking here. There really is no question. Can you add a little more info please.

I was wondering if anyone knows why it's reducing space instead of increasing it?

Deleting photos doesn't always 'increase' space, if you have any apps that are adding things at the same time (texts, messenger, etc.) or if you didn't restart (turn off and back on) the phone after the deletion. Sometimes a device won't show the right amount of space when things are deleted until you restart the device.

I would really do both. Restart it and then check for apps that are adding more data to the phone.
