If you have back up & sync on, your photos have simply been moved to “trash” and can be recovered within 60 days. 

Steps:  

1. On your Android phone, open the Google Photos app Photos
2. At the top left of your screen, hit ‘Menu’ then ‘Trash/Bin’
3. Press and hold the photo or video you want to recover
4. At the bottom, tap ‘Restore’. The photo or video will be back in its original album before deletion.

2. Recover deleted photos from your SD card

If you do happen to still be rocking an SD card in your phone, you might still be able to recover your photos using specialized software. Your SD generally keeps deleted files until they are overwritten by new data. This means you should remove your SD card as soon as you realize you have deleted your photos to avoid them being replaced with new data.

You’ll then need to make use of some specialized software like easeUS Data Recovery tool. After removing your SD card, connect it to your PC using a card reader or your computers SD slot. Launching easeUS will prompt you with the option to scan your card for files that can potentially be recovered. 

3. Recover deleted photos from a rooted phone

If your phone was rooted, we recommend trying Disk Digger from the Google Play Store. Disk Digger is free for photo and video recovery but may require payment if you’re looking to recover other files from your rooted Android device. 

After downloading, start the app and grant the root permissions when you’re prompted to do so. Use you “Full Scan” option to scan every crevice on your Android for the deleted photos. Because you’re scanning your entire phone’s storage, it might take you a while to find what you want. When you find them eventually, go ahead and press the photos and select “Recover”. 

Then, there is a choice of where you want to save your photos back onto your device.
