I connected the phone to my windows 10 computer with a usb cable. Windows 10 sees the device and the phone comes up in Explorer. Clicking on it opens it up and I can see the files (photo's) there. I moved them to my computer. I saw that they were still on my phone, so I clicked on the device, selected the ones I wanted to remove and hit delete.
Then I realized that there were pics missing in the folder on my computer...
That is definitely not the method to use to import photos to the computer. Did you check the folder you expected to move them to? You didn't look on the computer to see if the move completed before you looked at the phone again to delete the photos?
The photos on the iPhone should not be "moved", but they are imported, which is copying the photos to the computer, and then you can handle deleting them on the device after they are imported. The import utility in Windows is designed to handle both of those tasks and verifies the photos are imported before it issues the delete command to the iPhone.
As KiltedTim has said, your only chance is to restore the phone to a backup that was made when the photos were on the phone. If you don't have one, then I would suggest they are gone. The recycle bin on the computer would not contain them, since removal of content from a removable drive, such as a USB drive, or the iPhone, permanently deletes the data from the device, it does not move it to the recycle bin.
