The process to recover your deleted files, possibly by mistake, is easier than you think. However, it still has limitations, but it is much better than not having any chance of getting back those images that maybe you did not want to delete.
How do I recover my deleted files from Google Photos?
Your photos and videos can be divided into two groups: those that you made a backup to and those that you did not. In the case of the first group, they will be in the trash for up to 60 days after being deleted. For those in the second group, they will be in the trash for half the time, that is, 30 days.
So, the first step to recover an image in your Google Photos application is to go to the trash. After doing that, you must follow the steps that we detail below:
- Once in the trash, hold down the item you want to restore.
- While holding it down, an option will appear that says "Restore". You select it and you're done.
What if I can't find my photo in the trash?
If the item is not in the trash, it was probably permanently deleted. You must remain calm and think about the reasons why that could happen. Here are the following options:
- If you had a backup, you moved it to the trash more than 60 days ago.
- If you don't have a backup, you moved it to the trash more than 30 days ago.
- You emptied the trash after moving the file there.
- You deleted it permanently from the trash.
