Accidentally Deleted My Full Photo Library, How to Recover?
Hi, I was cleaning my MacBook Pro and saw that I have 300 GB worth of weird files; I went in and saw that the heaviest is 81 GB, a photo album. I open it and see multiple albums with zero photos in them. I think nothing of it, so delete it, then confirm to delete it through the trash. It turns out it wasn't some album; it was my entire Photo Library from the last 10 years! Is there any way to get it back?

First, don't panic, and don't write new data onto your MacBook Pro to avoid data overwriting. Recovering deleted images should be your first action after deleting the Library on a Mac.
Restoring from the Trash is not the greatest option. The majority of the time, there is virtually little likelihood of recovering images from the Trash when you accidentally delete the full photo Library from a Mac, according to the Apple support group. So. You may need to contact a professional data recovery software. Also, it's always good to set up automatic backups to prevent future data loss.
Here are steps to recover your deleted photos on Mac.
Step 1. Launch EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard for Mac, hover the mouse over the system drive where the Photos Library is, and click "Search for lost files".
Step 2. After finishing the scan, click "Photos" under the "Path" tab. All your lost photos will be listed here.
Step 3. Double-click to preview the photo, select the right one, and click "Recover" to save the images to another secure location on your Mac.
You can also seek the lost photos in Time Machine Backup if only you have set up Time Machine Backup on your Mac:
- Connect your Time Machine backup disk to your Mac.
- Click the Time Machine icon on the top menu or open it from System Preferences.
- Use the timeline or up and down arrows to find the date you had your photos.
- Select the photos or the photo library and press the "Restore" button.
Remember to set up automatic backups in the future to prevent any loss of data.
Use EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard to recover deleted or lost files easily and quickly.
