Why is there a recently deleted pics album in my iPhone camera?

I was going to my favorites album to get to my pics faster, and I saw a recently deleted album. It was creepy and I don't want it there. Anyway to to get rid of it?

Creepy? You can clear out the album, but you can't get rid of it.

They are kept for 30 days in case they were deleted in error. If you're sure you don't want the pics, open the recently deleted album, click on a picture and at the bottom is the option to recover or delete. Otherwise they will automatically delete in 30 days. When you open the recently deleted album, each pic will have the remaining days until auto delete on it, but if you click on the pic you can delete it.

Can't. That was an add on from iOS 8. Lot of people tend to accidentally delete pictures. This is a recovery option in those cases.
