If the old pictures were never uploaded to Google Photos, there's nothing that Google or any of the volunteers in this forum can do to help you get them back. Nobody here has access to your account, photos, videos, or other personal information.
Files that were never uploaded to the cloud cannot be recovered or restored by a cloud storage service. Simply put, Google can't help you recover files it never had in the first place.

Question: How can i will get my permanently deleted photos and videos?
How can i will get my permanently deleted photos and videos?
Hello Jahir Hossen 7890,
Please review the following information in case there are any options you haven't yet tried.
1. Check your online account - photos.google.com
If your photos were successfully uploaded to your online Google Photos account they may be available there. Try visiting photos.google.com and searching for them. If you have more than on
2. Check the trash - photos.google.com/trash
Once you delete photos from your Google Photos account, they're moved to Trash for the next 60 days. If you deleted them by mistake you can always restore them from the Trash folder within those 60 days. Here's the link explaining how to recover them from Trash. If you have more than one Google account, check the trash for all of them.
If you accessed the Trash and manually sent the photos for permanent deletion, or if the 60 days expired, there is no way to recover them from Google Photos.
3. Review other options
- if you previously used Picasa, visit picasaweb.google.com and search for your photos.
- have you made any backups of the photos on your phone, camera, computer, or elsewhere?
- there is a small chance that you can restore the photos using a recover deleted photos app (Android). I haven't used them myself so have no specific recommendations. There may well be more app options if you visit the appropriate app store and try other search terms. I don't see any similar apps on the iOS store, but you could check yourself.
- you can contact the Google Drive support team to see if any deleted files may be recovered. Use the Google Drive contact form, click Missing or deleted files, select a contact option, and be sure to tell them you permanently deleted files in Google Drive.
- If you ever shared the photos with anyone else, it's possible they may have a copy they could share back or send to you.
Thanks.

Answer:
Brad,
Good afternoon. Google Photos does not retain any folder structure for uploaded pictures. If you have different folders you created on your phone to organize pictures, unfortunately that structure is not automatically created when everything is uploaded.
You will have to manually recreate that organization structure using the Albums feature in the Google Photos app, then add pictures to the relevant albums.
All pictures and videos are arranged in the Photos tab based on the Date Taken or Date Created data in the file's EXIF metadata. Newest pictures/videos are always at the top. If you uploaded pictures that were taken a long time ago, you'll have to scroll down to the right time to get them.
Let me know if you have more questions about this.
Regards,
~ Greg

If you have deleted a lot of photos when not connected to the web, they build up in the app data in a temporary trash state. If you empty the trash things should go back to normal.

Hi, Farhan Abdulrazzaque
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
However, had you backed up your pics to Google Photos?
Further, did you delete those through Google Photos?
If yes, then you should be finding the deleted pics in the bin, unless you have emptied the bin also.
Answer:
Hi, Farhan Abdulrazzaque
Thanks for your reply
Have you check the bin? The deleted pics may be there in the bin.
Answer:
Hi, Farhan Abdulrazzaque
Thanks for your reply
The photos are not in the bin that means those are deleted permanently.
However, once a user deletes something permanently despite a warning message or allows the content to time out in the bin, Google doesn't maintain any backup.
There is no way to get back the content through Google Photos.
Nevertheless, you may install to your Android device a deleted photo recovery app (be sure to not pick one that requires rooting) https://play.google.com/store/search?q=recover%20deleted%20photos&c=apps;
and run a scan for anything to recover.

This morning I was attempting to clear up some space in my google drive, and found that Google photos was taking up a solid chunk of my storage. I went into Google photos, and under the impression that it was merely a backup of my devices photos, I deleted all of them, and proceeded when it warned me that the files were too large and would be permanently deleted. After the process finished, I found that all of the photos had been deleted from my device as well. There was no indication that this would be the case, and while I think I have many of the files backed up between my Google drive and my PC at home, I can't check this for several hours and am distressed.

I have more thousands of photos on Google Photos with most of the photos having at least one duplicate and the majority having several duplicates. I have spent several days deleting duplicates. Most of the photos will be stored in different pixel counts with one 12 MP and several others at 2.8 MP. I am keeping the higher resolution photo and deleting the lower resolution duplicates.
Answer:
You simply can remove the Google app from your iPhone & iPad.
That does not delete what is stored at Google, but if you don't use your Gmail-account for any other Google-application for which you need that account (like Gmail itself), you also can skip that account.
Then everything stored at Google will get deleted too.

Is there anything I can do to recover the lost files?
Answer:
Justin,
I went into Google photos, and under the impression that it was merely a backup of my devices photos, I deleted all of them
The Photos app behaves like any other gallery app, with the additional capability of uploading to, downloading from, and displaying images in your Google account. Deleting using the Photos app also deletes from your phone, the same as if you deleted using your stock gallery app.
When you delete in the Photos app, a warning message explains what will happen if you proceed. On your phone, that message says, "Remove from Google account & synced devices?" The device you're using is one of those synced devices.
If you see a request to "Delete permanently" when you try to move an item to trash, your trash is full. On Android, your trash can hold 1.5GB. Since you were deleting many things, it makes sense you might reach the 1.5GB limit.
That "delete permanently" message is part of the same process from above where your deletions are removed from your account and all synced devices. This is why the pictures are no longer on your phone.
it warned me that the files were too large and would be permanently deleted. After the process finished, I found that all of the photos had been deleted from my device as well.
The app warned you the pictures would be permanently deleted, you proceeded, and then were surprised when your pictures were deleted? If you feel that a different work flow would have been more logical, you can use the Send Feedback feature to share your thoughts with developers.
There was no indication that this would be the case
If the confirmation dialog box -- the one with the message stating your pictures would be permanently deleted -- was insufficient or did not adequately convey that your pictures would be permanently deleted, you should consider informing developers of this as well so they may improve the manner in which such information is presented to users.
Unfortunately, none of the volunteers in this forum have access to your account, photos, or other personal information, so nobody here can recover any of your permanently deleted pictures.
The information on the following Google Photos Help pages may help you become more familiar with finding, deleting, and restoring your pictures:

I have enabled partner sharing between two Gmail accounts. The location data of the pictures are not shared with the new Gmail account. Do I have to manually add location data for all the images?
Answer:
Probably you have switched on "Hide locations" in the main settings of the app which is logged-in to your old account - see under your profile-circle.
If they are automatically saved in your new account already, you can't undo this failure anymore - unless for new photos added in your old account after changing the setting in non-hiding.

Also after deleting thousands of duplicates yesterday, again keeping the photo with the higher pixel count, when I look at my photos today the photos that I kept a large percentage are gone. The higher resolution photos are not in the trash and also not in the Photos.

Trying to insert videos from My Photos into a Slides presentation. I have several that were put into the presentation months ago and at that time I was able to change the privacy settings on the specific pictures and videos so anyone with the presentation link could see the videos without a problem. I recently added several more videos and none of them are able to be viewed without asking for permission.

Question: Backing up documents
Can i store and backup my documents and files in google photes?
Photos & videos only - in usual formats (see backup).
PS: people often are unclear about "documents" - if you mean photoscans of (old) textdocuments, they also backupped on Google Photos, but Google Drive maybe a better choice because easier sorting and labelling.

Question: Please unlimited storage again
Please unlimited storage
Not available anymore, but not expensive either unless you immediately need 2 TB :-)
And at storage save quality you will use about 1/5 of all photo-bytes on phone.
Sorry, new Google rules.

I have just bought a Pixel 5a 4g, my old phone was an iPhone 7. When I had my iPhone, my face recognition worked and I had all the faces of the people I know sorted into the correct categories. When I downloaded Google photos to my new Google phone, it has messed up the face recognition and now it does not recognise my friends and family and all their folders have been messed up.
Answer:
You cannot disable the confirmation dialog box that appears when you attempt to delete something. And I don't think that will ever be possible.
While you might be comfortable operating your device and managing your photo storage without the need for dialog boxes reminding you how things work, there are way too many people on the exact opposite side of that coin. Considering that user error is the top cause for most such issues, that small 10-word confirmation dialog that annoys you might actually be responsible for helping hundreds, maybe thousands, of users not make a mistake.
And thankfully moving forward from there requires just one quick tap.
Answer:
You are right Greg if Google had done this correctly, but they are fully misleading and thereby the millions still will have deleted them permanently.
Just check.
Goodnight.
PS I am on Android 11 if that makes a difference?
Answer:
@Leon
Basically Greg is correct, but your critics is correct also: even deleting one new picture (already backupped, but still on phone takes at least 5 seconds after permitting and that is by far too slow or can be done in background.
To my impression this is new since the system upgrade to Android-11 and even if I switch-off all in-app notifications under settings, I can't get rid of the permission to trash the selected ones.
So we only can propose you to complain via the feedback option under your profile circle in the app.
PS: you can have the backup switched-off before shooting new pictures and then I delete bad pictures before switching-on the backup again. That goes much faster.
Answer:
I know it is currently not possible. That's why it is a feature request.
I don't agree that moving to trash without confirmation dialog would cause much mess.
Parallel example is Gmail. It allows deleting emails without confirmation. Why is it acceptable design in Gmail but not Google photos?
Answer:
You are living with wrong ideas about the Photos-user: it generally are no Gmail-users at all, else this forum would be by far more efficient. Now 90% are not notified about our answers, so they will see their bad ideas about Photos confirmed. And you don't know about the daily drama's about lost photos here, just because of warnings with the wrong text on the wrong moment.
Besides: we can report sudden bugs, but no feature requests - you have to do that yourself via the feedback option.
Answer:
thanks. but how does Google know whether a feedback is widely demanded? there is not an upvote feature on the feedback that people can up vote the request.
Answer:
Top secret :-)
But we are assured that they spend professional attention to our feedbacks - however most people think that this forum is a feedback towards Google and because they seldom will read our answers, they never will know about that path unless discovered and used by accident also.
So we never know if some change (not always an improvement) is caused by many feedbacks or just by the Google nerds themselves.
That will not be very different with other companies, but my experience with Microsoft is more positive and personal and thereby less frustrating.

Question: Delate photo backup From gallery please help me
Please help me recover my photo
Vipul Singh 1899,
When you attempt to manually empty the trash bin in Google Photos, a warning message box appears that explains you are about to permanently delete those pictures and videos. If you choose to proceed anyway, there is nothing that any of the volunteers in this forum can do to help you recover your pictures.
The information on the following Google Photos Help pages will help you become more familiar with finding, deleting, and restoring your pictures:
If you deleted pictures or videos that were not previously backed up to your account through the Google Photos app, then unfortunately there's nothing that Google or any of the volunteers in this Help Community can do to recover them.
Files that existed only on your phone, ones that were never uploaded to the cloud, cannot be recovered or restored by a cloud storage service. Simply put, Google can't help you recover files it never had in the first place.

I am trying to organise folders but the app frequently crashes when some photos are moved, it only seems to happen with certain photos. It's very frustrating especially since the folders frequently shuffle the images around.
Answer:
Probably your phone is fed-up completely.
So close all apps when doing this - but manual dragging around only should be done when the album is ready and not further used for adding new stuff anymore. Else you will stay re-shuffling probably.
PS: why you need to do this on phone - don't you have a computer, because then it can be done much more comfortable on https://photos.google.com/albums in your desktopbrowser.
Answer:
I tend to use the phone app more often than the desktop site since my phone doesn't have a proprietary photos app, so Google Photos is my default photo app. It's not great when the default photo app malfunctions.
Surely my phone shouldn't have any issues with running the app, it's a flagship from last year. I actually do get the shuffling issue on the desktop site too, accompanied by it not allowing me to successfully move the item since it just reverts the change.
Answer:
Even a flagship can be malfunctioning when fed-up with random-apps and many 4K movies :-)
But because you know about your desktop, I would restrict to that one.
However: be aware that it is quite abnormal to shuffle around that much - Google Photos is completely date-based and normal series are chronologic - but if you have a lot of undated social stuff or downloads from web or scanned old prints and slides in between, you will get grey hairs indeed.
Hard to advise and Google would not do better.
Sorry

I have just bought a Pixel 5a 4g, my old phone was an iPhone 7. When I had my iPhone, my face recognition worked and I had all the faces of the people I know sorted into the correct categories. When I downloaded Google photos to my new Google phone, it has messed up the face recognition and now it does not recognise my friends and family and all their folders have been messed up.
On top of this, when I "remove results" that are a wrong face in the wrong category, it doesn't ask me what the reason for this is. When I owned an iPhone, if I removed a result it would ask me why, and j would have the chance to tell it that I had removed the result as it was the wrong person, and therefore the system would learn that face and be able to recognise it on its own. If an iPhone can do this, why can't a Google phone?

Hi, Pragati Mokal
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
However, do you want to see Google Photos on your TV? Or live TV channels?
If your intention is the former, you can do so through the following different ways.
- If the TV has a browser, open the link https://photos.google.com. Log into your account & start the slide show.
- Alternatively, you can use the cast feature & show the content on your phone through the TV.
- If your phone supports HDMI output, you can connect the TV through a cable & see the pics.
You can try any one of these.
