[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1893155, member: 83420"] I've one or two comments that might help. You imply, if not actually state, that you are using Apple's Photos app. If so: 1.When you delete a picture in the Photos app, it firstly puts them into Photos' Trash. And they will stay there for at least 30 days, possibly for ever. 2. To check if some/all are still there, Open Photos and on the Left Sidebar, under Library, look for "Recently Deleted" and click on that. 3. If you knew this and, in fact, consciously deleted them, then they are gone - they do not go into Mac's Trash. (Maybe they did in El Capitan - can't recall, but certainly not in any recent Operating Systems) Thus, I am confused by your use of the word "Trash" - the confusion is mine, not your fault. I'm trying to understand which "Trash" you are referring to; because in Photos' Trash, it offers to "Recover" or "Delete" whereas in the Mac's Trash, you have to Right Click on the items and then it comes up with "Put Back" as one of the options. But the pictures shouldn't be in the Mac's Trash, as I stated above. My confusion may simply be that things have changed since El Capitan. Or it could be that the pictures you deleted were not in the Photos app, but filed elsewhere - and ended up in the Mac's Trash?? If none of the above is of help, through my misunderstanding, then Rod's advice will surely restore your pictures back to your Photos app from wherever they are. For my own peace of mind & understanding, it would be great if you could find the time to reply. Ian [/QUOTE]
