Photos Gone from "Recently Deleted"? How to Recover Them on Android
Most gallery apps do not delete photos straight away. They first go to a Recently Deleted, Trash or Recycle bin folder.
Step 1: Check the trash of your gallery
- Samsung Gallery: Menu → Recycle bin (about 30 days).
- Google Photos: Library → Trash (60 days for backed-up items, 30 days for others).
- Xiaomi Gallery: Albums → Recently deleted.
Open the photo and tap Restore.
Step 2: Gone from the trash too? Scan the phone
- Open Deeps (Deleted Video Recovery) and allow access to files.
- Run a Deep or Full scan.
- Preview the results and restore the photos you need.
Do it soon: once the trash is emptied, new files can overwrite the deleted photos. Avoid taking new photos or installing apps until you have scanned.
