Hi Der Kenner,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand you're unable to locate the, "Recently Deleted" folder on your iPhone. We can help point you in the right direction.


Just to be sure, have you tried opening the Photos app and see if the, "Recently Deleted" folder appears underneath "Utillities"? If not, these are the steps to help locate the, "Recently Deleted" folder for the Photos app, when a photo is deleted: Delete photos on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Please let us know if that helps.


Kind regards.
