Here's the deal on recovering photos from the trash in Google Photos:
Good News! There's a good chance of getting them back if you haven't permanently deleted them yet.
Here's how:
* Open the Google Photos app on your phone or tablet.
* Go to the "Library" tab and look for "Trash" or "Bin." It might be at the bottom or top of the screen depending on your device.
* Browse the photos and videos. Here's what you can do:
* Recover: If you find the photos you're looking for, select them and tap "Restore" to bring them back to your photo library.
* Permanently Delete: If there are photos you want to permanently remove, select them and tap "Delete."
Important Note: Google Photos only keeps deleted items in the trash for 60 days. So, if your photos and videos were deleted a long time ago, they might be permanently gone.
Here are some additional tips:
* Act Quickly: The sooner you check the trash, the better chance you have of recovery.
* Double-Check Archive: Sometimes photos might be archived instead of deleted. Check the "Archive" section within the Library tab if you can't find them in the trash.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any trouble finding the trash or restoring your photos.

I understand you're looking for some deleted photos in Google Photos. I'm sorry to inform you that if the photos were deleted from the Recently Deleted folder, they are likely permanently gone and can't be recovered through Google Photos.
Here's why:
* Recently Deleted Folder as a Safety Net: Google Photos offers a grace period by keeping deleted photos in the "Recently Deleted" folder for a set time (60 days for backed-up photos, 30 days for non-backed-up). This gives you a chance to restore them if you accidentally deleted them.
* Permanent Deletion After Timeframe: Once photos are removed from the Recently Deleted folder, they are permanently deleted from Google Photos servers.
What You Can Do Moving Forward:
* Check Device Storage (Limited Chance): In some rare cases, deleted files might still reside on your device's storage for a short while. Data recovery software for your phone might be able to recover them, but success depends on various factors and isn't guaranteed.
* Search Online Solutions (Use Caution): Searching online for methods to recover permanently deleted photos from Google Photos might lead to unofficial tools or methods. Be cautious, as these methods are often unreliable, secure, or ineffective.
* Prevent Future Loss: Here are some steps to help prevent future loss:
* Enable "Back up & sync" in Google Photos settings. This uploads your photos to Google's servers for safekeeping.
* Consider upgrading your storage plan if you're nearing the free tier limit. This provides more space for your photos and potentially extends the retention period for deleted photos in the Recently Deleted folder.
While recovering permanently deleted photos isn't possible through Google Photos, hopefully these suggestions can help you avoid future data loss and keep your cherished memories safe.
