Here's what's happened: I took several screenshots on my MacBook. I imported those screenshots into the Photos App. I then deleted the screenshots from Finder and emptied my trash. Now when I click on the images in the Photos App, I get the missing file error. Since I already permanently deleted the original files, is there nothing to be done for these screenshots? And going forward, am I supposed to keep all my screenshots in Finder somewhere?
Please check your settings for "Importing", is this checkmark set?
Without the checkmark files will not be imported, they will remain in their original location.
That will create an issue as soon as you delete them.
Here the details

Hope this will solve your question, please let me know if this worked for you or if something in unclear.
