Hello carolinapainter,


We're unsure what exactly you are referring to here. Were you cleaning out duplicated photos on your Mac? This article explains how that works: Remove duplicate photos in Photos on Mac - Apple Support. If so, it explains: "Deleted duplicates appear in the Recently Deleted album, where you can recover or permanently delete them."


If you wish to recover those photos and any folders they may have been in, you can do so from that area.


We hope this helps. Let us know if we can assist with anything else at all. Take care.
