When you delete photos that are synched to iCloud, they are deleted from all devices. For this reason, I do not consider iCloud to be a reliable back-up. If the photos are gone from recently deleted as well as iCloud, they are probably gone forever. It is a good idea to backup important photos and data to your computer or an external disc.
