I Accidentally Deleted Some Pictures on My Mac

‘I accidentally deleted some pictures on my mac pc, how can I get them back?’

‘Accidentally deleted precious photos HELP’

So many people ask me like these questions above, but so broad question it is. From where did you delete them?  If it was from an album with just the Delete key they weren’t deleted, only removed from that album.  If that’s what you did then the Recently Deleted smart album will not be activated.

 Deleting Photos from a Photos 2 Library

 1 – regardless of where you are in the library, i.e. Moments, Collections, albums, smart albums or projects, select the photo(s) you want to delete and use the key combination of Command+Delete to move the photos to the Recently Deleted smart album.

2 – click on the Recently Deleted smart albums in the sidebar.

3 – in the Recently Deleted album you can opt to let the photo automatically delete after the 30 day waiting period is up, delete them immediately or restore them to the library.

NOTE : deleting a photo from an album, slideshow, book, etc., with the Delete key only deletes the photo from that item.  There is no key combination that will delete a photo from a project and move it directly to the Recently Deleted smart album.

NOTE : deleting a photo from a Moment or Collection (the Photos window) or the All Photos window deletes ALL occurences of that photo in the library.

Confirm that you want to recover the photo.

Anything in your Recently Deleted folder stays there for 30 days. After that, it’s gone forever.

How to recover Deleted photos from memory card

Whether your digital camera fell into the wrong (toddler’s) hands, or you had a momentary lapse of eye-hand coordination when faced with a “Delete All” message, chances are you or someone you know has accidentally deleted precious photos from a camera’s memory card.

Whether you’ve accidentally formatted your memory card with photos or videos still on it, you removed the card while it was still writing, the card has become corrupted, or there’s been some problem that has made the photos disappear, here some suggestions for trying to recover them.

Relax,the simple delete command on most cameras just marks the space on a memory card as being available for use rather than overwriting the actual space on the card. As long as you don’t record anything new onto the card, previously deleted photos should be relatively easy to recover using a file recovery utility. You should even be able to recover photos from a reformatted memory card as long as you used a standard format command rather than a low-level format.
