Are you not finding the deleted pictures there?
If so, did you delete the pics through Google Photos? or using some Gallery app on your phone?
If you have deleted through Google Photos, then you may still find those in the bin.

Hallo, Kader Varol
Willkommen im Community-Support-Forum von Google Fotos und vielen Dank für Ihre Anfrage.
Wenn Sie jedoch in der Google Fotos-App auf das Löschsymbol tippen, wird eine Warnung angezeigt, die Sie darüber informiert, was passiert, wenn Sie fortfahren. Auf Ihrem Telefon wird die folgende Meldung angezeigt: "Von Google-Konto und synchronisierten Geräten entfernen?"
Wenn Sie versuchen, den Papierkorb in Google Fotos manuell zu leeren, wird eine weitere Warnung angezeigt, in der die Folgen des dauerhaften Löschens dieser Bilder und Videos erläutert werden.
Wenn Sie trotzdem fortfahren möchten, kann keiner der Freiwilligen in diesem Forum Ihnen helfen, Ihre Bilder wiederherzustellen.
Sie können jedoch eine gelöschte Fotowiederherstellungs-App auf Ihrem Android-Gerät installieren (stellen Sie sicher, dass Sie keine auswählen, für die ein Rooting erforderlich ist).

Dear Google, I understand that after 1 Jun 2021, Google will start counting storage space whenever High Quality and Original Quality photos are backed up on Google Photos. Notwithstanding purchasing increased storage space, apart from these 2 options are there any options we can have to continue backing up our photos, albeit in lower quality, without counting towards our storage space?
Thanks in advance.

Hi, Wei Han Teo
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
First, this is a peer support forum where the queries are answered by volunteers who are users like you.
There aren't any Google employees or representatives reading the posts.
There aren't any Google employees or representatives reading the posts.
Nevertheless, Google will start counting the space even for the uploads in the high quality format.
Beyond the purchasing option, another option would be to stay within the 15 GB limit & stop uploading the moment the capacity becomes full.
However, that may affect the Gmail service also if there is no space on Google Drive.
Answer:
Oooh... Okok. Thanks sir. Wish there's a way to get to Google's staff. Nevertheless, thanks for your reply
Yup. I understand what you have replied. My question is, apart from High Quality, Original and purchasing for more storage space, are there any other options to continue posting without incurring storage space? Sort of like a lower than High quality option?
Answer:
Hi, Wei Han Teo
Thanks for your reply
When we capture a pic through our camera, then the as-is format becomes original quality.
While uploading in high-quality, the Google Photos app compresses that somewhat.
Nevertheless, you will have to do some pre-processing & compress that photo using some photo processing app.
Here is an example of the same photo in High quality & substantially reduced quality.

You may not notice any visual difference in these two pics although the file size is one-tenth of the original one.
If I project the picture on a larger screen, that will appear grainy & will create a lot of dissatisfaction.
Nevertheless, the choice would be yours. You can do pre-processing and then save ten pictures within the space of one.
However, I always prefer to have a few quality pictures instead of hundreds of substandard ones.
Answer:
Hey Sir, yes I agree to your reply. I appreciate your time in replying.
My question is, is there a third option of backup where it does not count towards my storage space, since High and Original counts towards my limited storage space.
Answer:
Hi, Wei Han Teo
Thanks for your reply
There are multiple options.
- Microsoft one drive
- Amazon Photos (For prime members)
- iCloud for iOS devices
However, all will offer much less storage.
Then the best option becomes buying an external hard disc & storing everything on that.
However, the magnetic discs are also prone to damage & requires a duplication of that.

Hi, pawan dubey
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
The face recognition feature is still evolving.
That may not recognise all the faces.
Nevertheless you can add newer persons manually.
You can add a person through the following steps.
Tap to open the photo which contains unidentified faces & then slide up or tap the three dots.
If the app had failed to include some faces in that picture, then you will see a prompt "XX faces available to add".
If the app had failed to include some faces in that picture, then you will see a prompt "XX faces available to add".
Tap the edit icon at the extreme right edge.
That will show identified faces in square boxes & their thumbnails at the bottom.
Tap on the + sign on each thumbnail.
Then the app will show you all the identified faces till that time.
You can select the right one.
Tap on the + sign on each thumbnail.
Then the app will show you all the identified faces till that time.
You can select the right one.
If not, tap the + sign at the top right corner of the screen.
That would create a new grouping altogether.

Once created, the app may take some time to bring all the related pictures to this new grouping.

As already explained, once a user empties the bin, Google doesn't preserve anything as Google has to honour your wish of forgoing the deleted content.

Answer:
Unfortunately the editing option is missing in European countries and UK for reasons we do not understand. We desperately try to get some clarification from Google, so far without success.
Note that on older accounts, where Face grouping was activated before it became available in Europe, editing is still working. Only accounts where Face grouping was activated later seem affected.

Hi, geraldine dulay
Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.
Before you proceed with deleting the photos, please turn off backup & sync.
Next, in the photos tab, long-press the first picture till a tick appears on that.
Next stroke your finger down while still in pressed condition.
That will start selecting multiple pictures.
If you park your finger on the bottom edge of the app, the screen will keep on scrolling and selecting pics.
Once you bottom out, press the bin symbol.
Possibly the app will say "Delete permanently" as the size would be too large beyond the capacity of the bin
Acknowledge that & then everything will go.

Sneha Logan,
Following is text from the official Google Photos Help page about deleting and restoring photos and videos:
Restore photos & videosIf you deleted an item and want it back, check your trash to see if it’s there.
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app
.
- At the bottom, tap Library
Trash
.
- Touch and hold the photo or video you want to restore.
- At the bottom, tap Restore. The photo or video will be back:
- In your phone’s gallery app
- In your Google Photos library
- In any albums it was in
If the item is not in your trash, it may be permanently deleted.
Important:
- If you delete a photo or video that’s backed up in Google Photos, it will stay in your trash for 60 days.
- If you delete an item from your Android device without it being backed up, it will stay in your trash for 60 days.
- If you see a photo or video in Google Photos that you think you deleted, it might be on a removable memory card. To delete it, use your device’s gallery app.
Empty your trashIf you see a request to "Delete permanently" when you try to move an item to trash, your trash is full. Your trash can hold 1.5GB.Important: If you empty your trash, you permanently delete any items in your trash.Don't see the photo or video?If a deleted photo or video isn't in trash, you can’t restore it. You won't be able to restore a photo if:
- You moved it to trash more than 60 days ago.
- You moved it to trash, then emptied your trash.
- You permanently deleted it from your trash.
- You permanently deleted it from your device’s Gallery app, without backing it up first.
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.

Because you perfectly can view your pictures in the Google app, there is no good reason to want them back because that is quite complicated.
The most simple action is downloading 200 recent ones by installing the Google One app for free.
You will have fresh pictures in gallery soon enough, but better to learn how to use the Google-app a bit better - also for quality sharing instead of using social media.
PS: you also can send an angry feedback straight to Google that they should include that option and that they should warn much more seriously in large red lettering.

@Andrew
You did not explain to us if there is something special with these files and if they can be viewed in the app or in your gallery like your other pictures?
Be aware that what you see in the app just are the pictures on phone - not their copies at Google unless the original on phone were deleted. You should view photos.google.com in the Chrome-browser to see what you really have stored at Google.
Answer:
There is nothing special with these files. Some are downloaded images from internet and some are photos photos taken by me. They are not backed up so they aren't appearing in my Google Photos "cloud\
Answer:
@Andrew
No logical explanation possible then, assuming you still have space enough in your account (check on one.google.com/storage) and in your phone (check its general settings).
Hopefully everything okay there.
Pictures downloaded form internet can have random dates, so it may be not easy to find them in the mainstream, but fresh pictures from your own phone-camera should have actual dates.
But recently uploaded pictures (within the last two weeks merely) can be seen at https://photos.google.com/search/_tra_
You may try to reset the app in the following way:
- Choose use without account under your profile.
- Close all apps and restart the phone.
- If you have good wifi for an hour, do start the Photos app only and log-in, but don't switch-on backupping yet.
- Let the app rebuild quietly (can take an hour).
- Switch-on backupping with the correct settings (account and quality) and see if those problematic pictures get uploaded correctly now.
Good luck

Question: How to recover photos and video
Google drive
If you are not the Original Poster, please DO NOT add you problem/issue to this thread as it will NOT get you an answer. Please create your own thread , in the proper Product Forum, concerning your problem/issue.ThisThis will enable us to give personalized help concerning your problem.
Now- with that out of the way let's deal with Evarinah's post in Google Photos.
Please note that, due to a variety of reasons, not all files can be recovered - but you can try!
1. Items deleted from your photos.google.com are stored in trash for 60 days and then are Auto-Deleted from trash and can not be recovered.
2. Items deleted manually from photos.google.com/trash can not be recovered.
3. Items deleted from your YouTube Channel can not be recovered.
4. Items deleted from your Gmail are stored in trash for 30 days and then are Auto-Deleted from trash and can not be recovered.
5. Items manually deleted from Gmail trash can not be recovered.
6. Items deleted from your Google Drive will be stored in Drive Trash for 30 days and then be Auto-Deleted from Trash and can not be recovered.
1).If you are using a regular personal account
You will have to contact a Google Drive Specialist who *MAY* be able to restore it. Use this link:
2). If you use a work/student account (G Suite), you should contact your Account Admin as they can restore files up to 25 days after deletion.

Question: Transferring Photos to a Different Account

I've been storing all my photos on a school-issued Google Photos account and want to transfer them to my personal account. I set myself up as a partner and can access all the photos from the personal account. My only question is this: when the old (school) account gets shut down, will the photos remain on my personal account?
Answer:
"When the old (school) account gets shut down, will the photos remain on my personal account?"
Since you already set up "Partner" sharing you now just have to activate the saving of these photos to your personal account (see https://support.google.com/photos/answer/7378858):
- On your computer, go to photos.google.com.
- At the top, click Settings
Partner sharing.
- Below "Partner sharing", click on Save to Account to see options.
- Click Save > All photos: Any photo in the partner sharing will be saved.
Note that "archived" photos are not shared.
When you select "High Quality" in https://photos.google.com/settings and do this before June 1st no storage will be used.
Answer:
Addition to my former reply: albums are not transferred, only the photos.
Answer:
- YES. Once the photos are saved to your account, they will NOT be deleted after the original account is shut down.
- BUT if you have them ONLY on your account, they are not yet very safe: it is good (I think necessary) to have another backup too. See Google Photos is NOT a "Backup" of Your Photos

Answer:
Hello Gary Pickett!
Welcome to the Google Photos forum!
Google Photos has the most popular categories for recognition by their service algorithms. An example of such a service is "Google Crowdsource" https://crowdsource.google.com/home
To see the full menu, use the three lines at the top left.
Most of the categories / folders in Photos appear precisely because algorithms, with the help of people, have already recognized the exact display of what is in the picture. Since this is an automatic action, it is impossible to add your own categories.
But you can search and find all your photos and make albums: give a title, add as many photos as you need. The same photo can be added to different albums more than once

Answer:
Hello Cloud Lin,
Could you try sharing to a separate gmail account to see if it gets past the greyed next button on the web. You can immediately Remove it so the account cannot see your photos.
It will give me a guide on whether the issue is with your account or your wife's
Thanks,
Peter
Answer:
Hi Peterandi,
I checked on both accounts. I can find either you or my school account after typing the email address, the account will show up in the search results, then I can select and proceed with next button. However, it does not show any account in the search results once I type the other partner address I need. So no selection is available, and next button is greyed.
Thanks,

Answer:
megan morley,
Following is text from the official Google Photos Help page about deleting and restoring photos and videos:
Restore photos & videosIf you deleted an item and want it back, check your trash to see if it’s there.
- On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app
.
- At the bottom, tap Library
Trash
.
- Touch and hold the photo or video you want to restore.
- At the bottom, tap Restore. The photo or video will be back:
- In your phone’s gallery app
- In your Google Photos library
- In any albums it was in
If the item is not in your trash, it may be permanently deleted.
Important:
- If you delete a photo or video that’s backed up in Google Photos, it will stay in your trash for 60 days.
- If you delete an item from your Android device without it being backed up, it will stay in your trash for 60 days.
- If you see a photo or video in Google Photos that you think you deleted, it might be on a removable memory card. To delete it, use your device’s gallery app.
Empty your trashIf you see a request to "Delete permanently" when you try to move an item to trash, your trash is full. Your trash can hold 1.5GB.Important: If you empty your trash, you permanently delete any items in your trash.Don't see the photo or video?If a deleted photo or video isn't in trash, you can’t restore it. You won't be able to restore a photo if:
- You moved it to trash more than 60 days ago.
- You moved it to trash, then emptied your trash.
- You permanently deleted it from your trash.
- You permanently deleted it from your device’s Gallery app, without backing it up first.
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.

Answer:
wafila abouri,
Even though you're asking about pictures, the real issue here is your inability to log in and access your account.
Unfortunately, none of the volunteers in this forum have access to your account, photos, or other personal information.
So, your question would be more likely to receive a useful answer if you posted it in the Google Account Help Community, rather than in the Google Photos help forum.

Answer:
From where did Google remove your pictures? Were you posting them online or something? You shouldn't have a problem if your pictures are just in Google Photos. Millions of users have explicit photos and videos. Google understands that with the automatic backup feature there are absolutely going to be tons of sexual images that get uploaded. So, where did that violation notice email come from?

- Touch and hold the photo or video you want to restore.

If the item is not in your trash, it may be permanently deleted.
Don't see the photo or video?If a deleted photo or video isn't in trash, you can’t restore it. You won't be able to restore a photo if:
- You moved it to trash more than 60 days ago.
- You moved it to trash, then emptied your trash.
- You permanently deleted it from your trash.
- You permanently deleted it from your device’s Gallery app, without backing it up first.
To find and recover photos easily, turn on back up & sync.
You may also try to get professional help, but sorry to say Google cannot do anything about it.
Tip: You can try using some data recovery apps from the play store. it might work.

No, Sir. I did not delete. As I had mentioned in the original question, and in the reply it was removed by Google.
