Following the most recent update to Catalina 10.15.4. A load of photos have disappeared. Mainly in my hidden folder. I can views my hidden holder but most of the photos are no longer there and I cannot locate them anywhere else.
catalina has created a recovered and relocated file but this are both empty. They are not in my iCloud either. Anyone got any suggestions?

If you use iCloud Photos, the photos that you hide on one device are hidden on your other devices too.
If you have iOS 10 or earlier or macOS Sierra or earlier, you can still see your hidden photos or videos in any albums you created.
you can transfer that photos found in iPhone to Mac https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201302

I’m not sure on the format. I’d assume JPEG.
Ive done that also and they are still not in either library.
it all happened Right after the catalina update. I went back into my hidden folder to check And they weren’t there. The latest update has created its own relocated/recovered file on desktop but they are empty.
I rang Apple direct and even they are puzzled as to where they would have gone.

What is the file format of the missing photos? The upgrade to Catalina has made some media file formats incompatible.
Another possible reason - Photos may have opened the wrong Photos Library. YOu may want to check the location of your Photos Library. This is shown in the Photos > Preferences > General > Library Location. Is Photos using the library you want to be using?
Photos/hidden photos
