30 days to recover iCloud photos

Hello tajorn and welcome to Apple Support Communities.

I see you have a question about photos in the Recently Deleted folder in iCloud Photos.

As noted in that article, photos in that folder stay for 30 days and after that are "gone forever."

Cheers.

Hi tajorn.

If you are not using iCloud Photos and you delete a photo on an iPhone, iPod, iPad or Mac, it automatically goes to an album called Recently Deleted on that device. You can move the photo from that album to another album within that 30 days if you want to save it, but after 30 days it will self-delete from that folder and will not be recoverable.

If you are using iCloud Photos, when you delete a photo from a device, it goes to an album called Recently Deleted on iCloud and stays there for 30 days. If you either move it to a different album or download it from iCloud to a computer within that 30 days, the photo will be saved. If it is not moved or downloaded within 30 days, then it will be gone and will not be recoverable.

Cheers.

Hi there,

All your photos will be deleted only on iCloud, not in your iPhone
