iPhoto recently deleted folder missing after Sierra upgrade

So as you are using the term Recently Deleted we can assume you mean you are using Photos rather than iPhoto.

In Photos when you delete an item you should see Recently Deleted appear in the side bar in the Albums column.

Do you have anything showing under Albums in the sidebar, if not you can move your cursor over to the right of Albums and you should see an option to Show, click that and you should now see your albums and the Recently Deleted item if you have deleted any images. If there are images to be deleted click on Recently Deleted and another window open where you can then delete them immediately.

Ok no need to start getting stroppy, we're going through the motions to try and establish what the problem is.

Have you restarted the Mac to see if the behaviour is repeated on a restart.

Also macOS Sierra is now at 10.12.6 so you might want to update the OS, I would recommend downloading and then installing this, Download macOS Sierra 10.12.6 Combo Update the combo replaces system files that may have got corrupted so may help you in this situation. You never know.

First make sure you see the Sidebar:

Photos > View > Show Sidebar.

Note that the Recently Deleted album is not visible if it's empty. If it's not showing, "delete" a test image.

[iPhotos uses Trash, not Recently Deleted, so I assumed you're actually using the Photos app.]

Thanks for reply. I'm using Photos.app. The problem is that there is no folder "Recently Deleted" in my sidebar. It was there and disappeared. I have the same Albums like your screenshot but without last item.

Recently Deleted only appears if you have deleted something, if you don't delete the files manually it will hold items that have been deleted for 30 days and then will automatically delete them, it then disappears from the sidebar until the next time you delete something. Why don't you try duplicating an image then deleting it, see if Recently Deleted shows up, click on it if it does and then delete the item.

The folder is only visible if you have recently deleted files. The Photos for Mac forum is here

Photos for Mac

Hey Apple, still no resolution. I've the same problem. This some kind of bug

There is no 'Recently Deleted' folder in iPhoto. Never has been.

You using Photos.app, perhaps?

Of course I've tried to delete photo. Thats how I've observe that there is no recent delete folder. When I delete photo it just disaperared.

There's a link there to the Photos forum. Best place to ask. When you do, include where you're deleting from. If it's an album you're just removing it from the album not deleting it at all.

Thanks I'll move to Mac forum. My problem is a bug, I'm doing normal deleting like in past where there was no problem
