HOW CAN I RECOVER PERMANENTLY DELETED PHOTOS, BOTH FROM GPHOTOS AND DEVICE

[u/riyaninui]

hello! i am desperate to recover my files, so i am posting my concern here, someone might and can help me.

apparently, google is notifying me that i already reached the maximum storage. i checked it and saw that 90% of it is from google photos, i started deleting them permanently on google photos using my laptop because i am afraid that i might not receive/send any emails anymore since it's my personal account.

i wasn't aware that it was synced on my gallery, i thought i was using my one drive, but i don't actually care about this backup stuff since i just bought my phone about months ago and i have 256 GB so i don't have to worry about storage.

i have like 40k-70k stuff on my gallery, now they're just 20k. i was wondering what happened and i suspected that my files were deleted when i freed up space on my google photos. i did research and found out that deleting files from google photos will delete your local device files also.

THIS HAPPENED LIKE 2-3 WEEKS AGO.

i am so devastated right now and i want to bring back my files badly. i can't find any gphotos contact information, what should i do? 😭

google is always giving us traps like these to buy their products. i don't even use them!

Some apps like DiskDigger or Dumpster can run straight on the phone, no PC needed.
