  3. Enter Recycle Bin: Tap on the menu icon and select "Recycle Bin" from the dropdown list.

  4. Select Photos: Browse through the Recycle Bin and tap on the photos you wish to restore. A single tap on each photo will mark it for recovery.

  5. Restore Photos: After selecting your photos, look at the bottom-left corner of the screen. You'll see the "Restore" button; tap it.

Congratulations! You've successfully restored your deleted photos back into your Gallery.

Restore Deleted Photos from File Manager

If your pictures were erased via the File Manager instead of the Gallery, don't worry. The File Manager usually includes a "Recycle Bin" for deleted files. Here's how to retrieve your photos:

  1. Navigate to File Manager: Open the "Files" folder or launch your device's File Manager application.

  2. Locate Recycle Bin: Scroll down the File Manager's interface until you see the "Recycle Bin" option, commonly located at the bottom of the list.

  3. Select Deleted Photos: Once in the Recycle Bin, sift through the files and tap on the photos you want to bring back.

  4. Hit Restore: Look for the "Restore" button, generally positioned at the bottom-left corner, and tap on it to recover the selected photos.

That's it! Your deleted photos should now be safely restored back into your File Manager.
