Hello,

Hmm, don't exactly know, but many different things can happen.

Deleted photos actually go into album Recently Deleted for about 30 days. During this period they can be restored:

If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app - Apple Support

Also, phots may be stored in the iCloud:

Get help with your iCloud Photo Library

Another thing to consider is that if you receive photos via messages, they are stored in your Photos until the massages are deleted.

Good luck.
