When you delete a photo it is moved to the Recently Deleted album, and you can recover it from there. If you delete it from there, or if it is deleted automatically after 30 days, it is gone. Are you sure you didn’t do ANY of these ways of preserving photos and videos?
- Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud
- emailed, texted or messaged the photos to friends or family
- iCloud photo sync
- 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 gone forever.
