Hello zeynep236,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that when you delete photos they do not move the Recently Deleted album on your device. You've come to the right place for help.

Let's start by confirming how much iCloud storage you have available. If you exceed your iCloud storage limit, your device immediately removes any photos and videos you delete, and they are not moved to a Recently Deleted album. This could explain the behavior you're encountering.

The following resource will walk you through how to see how much iCloud storage you have. If you do need to make more space available in iCloud, it provides some additional tips to do so:

Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

Let us know what happens from here.

Cheers!
