Hello Beingshehin,


It sounds like you have some questions on accessing photos from the Recently Deleted folder within the Photos app.


If you use iCloud Photos, the Recently Deleted folder is sync'd live with iCloud. That means what's showing up in the Photos app on your phone is what the iCloud server has as well.


If you have iCloud Photos, then an iTunes backup would not include data that's already stored in iCloud like iCloud Photos.


You can learn more about backups for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.


Regards.
