I have been deleting duplicate photos (another question for another time) from my iMac. When I do this sometimes a window pops up with a progress bar. The window says "Moving to recently deleted". I can't find this "Recently deleted" folder. It's not in "Finder". I tried opening "Trash" but it's not there. Where might it be. I need to recover some accidentally deleted images.
VIN,iMac (27-inch Late 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5)
The Recently Deleted folder is a feature of iOS 8+. As a guess your photos are linked to iCloud, hence the message. You would have to recover any photos from your iCloud account from an iPhone or iPad or maybe by enabling iCloud Photo album on your Mac. I've never used the feature so it's conjecture on my part.
What version of Photos are you using? The later versions have the Recently Deleted album in the sidebar under Albums:
thanks Terence. I was taking a wild stab at it.
Then the likely case is you have no recently deleted photos - it only appears when it has some contents

Just deleted a couple - still nothing.
Same thing - no recently deleted folder, in file drop down or side bar.

I don't know that it matters but I am running 10.11.3.
Since no one has ever changed this I doubt that they will "again" - this is the way Photos has worked since its release just over a year ago - no change ever

so, how can I find a photo I just deleted by mistake??
You obviously didn't read my reply yesterday in this topic (previous page).
