How to Find Recently Deleted Photos on Mac
- On Mac OS X: Open "Photos", go to "File" and click "Show Recently Deleted".
- On macOS: Open "Photos", find "Recently Deleted" folder on the right sidebar.
If both the above two methods are failed, you can delete a photo first, and then try these methods again.
Why You Can't Find Recently Deleted Folder in Photos
Like we said before, the Recently Deleted folder in photos only keeps the removed images for 30 days. Longer than this, the deleted photos will be permanently deleted, and the Recently Deleted folder won't be there as it only shows when it has pictures in it. It means all your deleted photos are more than 30 days old.
