Deleted album from photos

I deleted an album a month ago and need to retrieve it. It is not in deleted photos. Can I still get it back?

The Recently Deleted album in Photos is only saving the media files (photos, videos), but not the albums or folders.

And the media will only be saved for 30 days at most, or until you empty Recently Deleted before the time is up.


When you delete an album, the photos will stay in the library, only the album will be deleted. You can recreate the album by creating a new album and adding the photos back.
