I thought I only deleted the photos I had already synched to the cloud, but it turns out I deleted EVERYTHING. I also thought that you had 30 days of being able to restore it, but that was not the case.

Is there someway I can restore it? I read through some of the responses, but they were all from a couple of years ago and said that you couldn't, but I'm writing in the hopes that there might exist a solution now in 2023.

Are you using Lightroom Classic or Lightroom Desktop? Does the Icon you click on to launch say LrC or Lr?

Thank you.

If you go to the Deleted album do the photos show there?

If yes, then you can restore them.

If no, how many days ago did you delete all the files?
