Question: i need recovery to permanent deleted google photos

recovery to permanent deleted google photos

Hello thammineni venkata koteswara rao,

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

Community Console Google Photos

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.

Open Google photos, it shows "pictures on device" I can see my folders I have. But they are not backed up. I want to back up that entire folder but seems only option is open folder, select each picture or small groups, then copy to a new folder.

Is there no way to just select backup entire folder? This seems like a pretty basic function. Select folder, menu, backup? Am I just missing the obvious here?

Answer:

Hi, Bryon C

Welcome to Google Photos Community Support Forum & thanks for your query.

Once we include a folder in backup & sync, the app backs up the entire folder without any exception.

Do you find a cloud symbol with a slash on the folders you think aren't getting backed up?

Here is a screenshot of how the cloud symbol looks.

If not, the app is already backing up everything from the folder.

However, if you find the symbol, tap to open the folder & then move the slider in front of the text "Backup & sync". Then, app will backup the entire folder.

Question: I have delete Google photos but it also delete my mobile phone folder photos how can I recover it

I want to delete Google photos but it's also delete my mobile folder photos

Images deleted from the Google Photos App will also remove them from the phone that took them. But, so long as this has happened within the last 60 days, the images can be recovered:

Open the Google Photos App (reinstall it if necessary).
Select Library.
Select Trash.
Select the images you'd like to recover (tap first, press others, no more than about 100 at a time), then choose Restore.

Let me know if this helps, and if it does please select Recommend below this post so that others can more easily find the answer.

Answer:

But it should not go that way since years, so who is stupid: these thousands of users or google?

So send an angry feedback via your profile.

PS: after restoring from trash you have your local back and apparently they are not uploaded again. But if you also would empty the trash on photos.google.com your locals are deleted again. Etc. etc.

Answer:

I received a notification that I was running out of space on my Google account. I went on GMAIL and deleted some email. I went to Google Photos and deleted videos and pictures. A notification popped up that the files were too big, so I chose DELETE PERMANENTLY.

For some reason, the files got wiped out even from my phone, when I used Google Photos. I was assuming that they'd only get deleted from Google Photos, and not from my phone.

Will I still recover those? Can't Google do anything?

Answer:

@User 13...

Nobody can do anything anymore because you have deleted them permanently.

You had the additional problem that the files that you have deleted were to big together for the trash (maybe due to one single 4K video) and thereby you were pressed to delete them permanently. Hélas.

But you should have deleted them at Google on photos.google.com with the backup switched-off to prevent deletions of local files also. And how could you have known that - thus bad design.

This forum is run by volonteers, so you should send an angry feedback via your profile top right in the app. They will reply with "Thank you" and we only may hope that they learn from such drama's.

Sorry

Free Up Space does not remove images from the cloud. So if you want to see any images removed from your device by Free Up Space, simply open the Google Photos App on your device, then look for the date the images were taken.

You may then, if you wish, download any image from Google Photos back onto your phone, but following the prompts after selecting an image within the Google Photos App and choosing More Options (three vertical dots in upper left of screen), then Download.

Question: My photo is delete on gallery how can we restore my photo

Hi Mohd,

Welcome to the Google Photos Help Community.

As you've mentioned that you've deleted the photo from your phone gallery, it looks like the photos and videos didn't backed up properly to your Google Photos account. Could you please check if you're able to see the photos and videos on web (photos.google.com)? If not, please check for the following things:

1. Can you see them via Picasa?

2. Are they in the trash?

3. Check the Assistant for the status of your backups.

4. Ensure you are logged in to the correct Google account.

If they are still missing, then unfortunately there isn't a way to retrieve them. Going forward, I'd suggest deleting the photos and the videos using the Google Photos Free up Space option to avoid any data loss as it is the best way to remove a backed-up video/image from your phone, leaving it in the cloud, and this will only delete the files which are backed up completely on Google Photos. To do so, please follow the steps from "Free up space on your phone" help center article.

Also, try checking your backup status on your phone and check if you're able to see the photos and videos on web (photos.google.com) before you delete them on your phone:

Open the Google Photos app on your mobile device .
At the top left, touch the menu icon > Assistant.
Read the first card. If it says:

"Waiting for connection" or "Waiting for Wi-Fi": You need to either change your settings or connect to a Wi-Fi or mobile network. Touch the card to change your settings.
"Back up & sync is off": Touch "TURN ON" on the card to back up your device's photos and videos, including ones you capture in the future.
"A photo or video was skipped": A photo or video on your mobile device doesn't meet our upload requirements:
- Photos can't exceed 75MB or 100 megapixels
- Videos can't exceed 10GB
"Backing up photos" or "Backup complete": This means your photos and videos should be saved.

Just a heads up: Photos and videos that aren't backed up will have this cloud icon

or circular-arrow icon based on the version of Google Photos App on your phone.

If you're still facing the issue, try the steps from this "My photos aren't being backed up" help center article.

Let me know if this helps.

Best,

Sonya

Now- with that out of the way let's deal with Armaan Gill's post in Google Photos.

Please note that, due to a variety of reasons, not all files can be recovered - but you can try!

The Odds are you will NOT be able to recover them...

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:

https://support.google.com/drive/thread/5032072?hl=en#contact=1

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.

Answer:

Windows 7 is fairly outdated.

Open photos.google.com in the incognito-window in order to bypass any vextension and try again - also for some normal pictures without watermarks at the bottom.

Answer:

The old ones will stay at original quality unless you apply the Recover storage button on photos.google.com/settings and then wait a day. Because most will have been uploaded before June 1, they will not count anymore, so you will gain a lot of storage space without lossing too much quality.

Answer:

Hello khaled kachkorian. Thanks for posting to Google Photos

When making suggestions for new features/improvements, the quickest way (and recommended best practice) is to use the 'Send Feedback' link from within the product itself as that goes straight to the developers to alert them of requested additions or changes to the platform.

Please note that you will NOT, under most circumstances, get a reply.

Please be sure to leave separate Feedback for each suggestions as they may go to different development teams. Thanks

Answer:

Hello Andrew,

I do not know why you did not answer my question.

Before suggesting anything, i asked if it is possible to disable photos uploading and upload videos only.

Is it possible?

Answer:

That's simply not possible and not logical either, because videos take much more space on phone and at Google then photos. So a switch to exclude videos would be more logical.

So there is no solution unless by swithing-off autobackup and then select the videos your want to backup.

I don't think you will find any cloudservice with the option videos only.

Answer:

Thanks a lot guys, i appreciate your reply a lot.

@rinus, maybe it is not possible now, but it is definitely logical.

If your target was the space, yes definitely photos does not take much space like videos, but my target is different, i am organizing my environment in a different way. So, the feature of disabling photos is very useful.

But since it is not logic to customize things as per person, i did not want to suggest this as a feedback directly, and to know the opinion of the others first. If other people found this useful like me, then we will suggested.

@Andrew, i really appreciate your return, and i did like your flexibility about suggesting this feature as a future possibility.

Thanks a lot for sharing your thoughts with me.

Answer:

But instead of waiting on Google because we never get any insight in their future plans based on the numbers of feedbacks on a certain feature, the only possibility now is to manually select what you will backup. Or just autobackup all and hide the photos by archiving them - then they still are backupped, but don't disturb your mainstream.

Best

Answer:

Just like you upload the photos on the account similar method to upload the videos I upload the videos with the similar method see the details here.

Hundreds of Random videos and photos have been DELETED from my google photos!!! I checked my trash and it is empty. I was able to access then 2 weeks ago so it is within the 60 day period they remain in trash. I have checked archive, other devices. I know they are out there. Even if I am told they are "permanently" deleted, I know they are out there. Nothing is ever "gone". I need these photos they are of my son all of the way back to when he was an infant. Also, the deleted photos are random...not a group from a consecutive time frame. Someone needs to help me. I know there is a way. PLEASE I DID NOT DO THIS

Answer:

Hello,

If you deleted an item and want it back, check your trash to see if it’s there.

If the item is not in your trash, it may be permanently deleted and cannot be recovered.

Steps to recover deleted photos from Trash are as follows:

On your Android phone or tablet, open the Google Photos app .
And check the Trash .
Click Restore
