Hi,
Welcome to Google Photos help forum,
You can restore recently deleted photos and videos that are still in your trash. Items that are permanently deleted can’t be restored.
Backed up photos and videos stay in your trash for 60 days. Photos and videos that weren’t backed up stay in your trash for 30 days. If you’re missing photos and videos, check your trash.
Not all deleted photos & videos can be restored
- If you're inactive in Google Photos for 2 years or more, your content may be deleted. Learn about the Google Photos inactivity policy.
- If you’re over your storage limit for 2 years or more, your content may be deleted. Learn more about how your Google storage works.
If a deleted photo or video isn't in trash, you can’t restore it. You won't be able to restore a photo or video if:
- The photo or video wasn’t backed up and
- You permanently deleted it from your device’s gallery app.
- The photo or video was backed up and moved to trash more than 60 days ago.
- You moved it to trash, then emptied your trash.
- You permanently deleted it from your trash.
I hope this helps if so give me a recommend.
Thank You for reaching out...!
