Q: I delete my photo stream folder by accident iOS 9.2.1
I deleted my photo stream folder by accident but the photos will still upload to my iCloud folder on my windows laptop. I tried to unchecked "iCloud Photo Library" and "Upload to my Photo Stream" under the iCloud settings on my iPhone but that did not work and the folder is still missing. I just want the folder back on my iPhone so i can see which photo is uploaded on my laptop.
iPhone 5s, iOS 9.2.1

Sorry - didn't understand you were using iCloud Photo Library. With iCloud Photo Library, the Camera Roll and Photo Stream albums are replaced with the All Photos album.
With iCloud Photo Library, your photos upload to iCloud, not to your laptop. Your photo library resided in iCloud. You can set up the options on your laptop to download iCloud Photo Library photos, but your device will no longer upload photos to it.
