    Your question is not clear  (probably a translation issue)

     

    There is no way to retrieve a deleted album

     

    Y9u can retrieve deleted photos from the recently deleted album

     

    and 10.11.6 is out of date - OS X Sierra 10.12 is out - it would be good to update

    In addition to what rmerc3 suggests, if you have a back up dating from before you 'lost' the album, you can retrieve the album from there.

    How did your album vanish?  Are you using iCloud Photo Library and are syncing an iPad or iPhone with Photos on your Mac?

    OK, thanks. I'm not sure how it happened but one day the album was there and the next it was gone. I'm aware of the update. Plan is to do that in a couple of weeks. What is Y9u? Cheers! rm

    Not sure how it happened. One day it was there and the next it was gone. Wouldn't be surprised if I dumped it by mistake. Live and learn. Not using iCloud or syncing. Thanks for your time. Later, rm

    Yup, I have an AirPort Time Capsule (Tower). Never used it so I guess I'll have to dig out the instructions and do some studying. Many thanks, rm
