You do mean Trash, right? Recycle Bin is windows.

What happens when you right click on a file and select put back?

Where was the file located before?

What type of file?

So i moved a lot of pictures in one drive folder to put them on the online platform, then i canceled them from the folder sourced, but i don't know how all of them was gone in the trash and now i can't recover them cause i can't select the restore.

Just reimport them back into your photo library.

You can't "put back" photos deleted from a photo library.

I tried that before my previous reply.

From Trash can you open the photo?

What does Get Info shod about them?

File type and file size?

Did you successfully view them before Trashing them?
