When you delete photos they are moved to the Recently Deleted folder. If you delete them from there they are gone forever from your iPhone and iCloud. Are you sure you didn’t do ANY of these ways of preserving photos?


  • emailed, texted or messaged the photos to friends or family
  • iCloud backup
  • iTunes backup
  • Transfer your photos to your computer via USB cable
  • Apple Photo Stream
  • Sync to Google Photos
  • Sync to some other photo archiving service such as Shutterfly
  • Sync to Dropbox
  • Sync to box.com
  • Sync to Microsoft OneDrive
  • Sync to Amazon Photos
  • back up to Livedrive
  • Backup to any other backup or archiving service

If the answer is no to all of the above your photos are really gone forever.
