Normally, if one deletes a photo, whether accidentally or not, the file is not deleted immediately but is transferred to the 'Recently deleted' trashcan. Then the clock starts ticking, but you do have 30 days before the file is definitely removed. 'Recently deleted' can only be opened through password, fingerprint or face recognition, if you happen to have that option.
