The photos would only be saved in one of 2 places:

  • iCloud using iCloud Photos
  • Backup file if not using iCloud Photos


For recovering deleted photos, you again have 2 options:

  • Recover from iCloud if using iCloud Photos

Delete and recover photos and videos on iCloud.com - Apple Support

  • Recover from Photos app on device

Delete photos on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


When restoring, you could try to restore from a different backup that may have had those photos. That would be about all the options you would have to recover the photos. If you do not use iCloud Photos and your device had not been backed up, then there would be no possible way.
