Recover Permanently Deleted Photos
I have deleted photos in Lightroom and then deleted them from the deleted photos folder. I really need them back. Is there any way to recover them?
When you deleted the photos from the Deleted folder, before it executed the deletion did it show the message shown in the picture below?
The message is worded quite seriously, it says “permanently delete” and “cannot be restored” twice, and they make you acknowledge that you read and understand all of that…they probably mean it.
The only way I can think of to restore them would be if a Lightroom Classic catalog was synced to the same cloud account before the photos were deleted, because it would have downloaded all photos locally. Then you could get them out of that local storage, unless they were also deleted locally. But if that kind of sync never happened, the photos are probably gone for good.
