When I was transferring photos from my Samsung S21 5G while connected to my desktop, I accidently deleted my camera folder, located under Internal Storage>DCIM. I thought I had the photos on the phone highlighted yet unfortunately the camera folder was highlighted when I pushed the delete button.
I searched online and everywhere I saw that I am supposed to have a recycle bin, yet I do not. I have a trash folder, yet the camera folder is not in there. I looked in Gallery, I looked in My Files and the camea folder is nowhere to be found.
Does anyone have any positive suggestions or answers? Thank you.
@Javablood I'm afraid that even if Trash was enabled in Gallery, when you deleted the files using your PC those files wouldn't show up in Gallery trash anyway.
Did you have OneDrive or Google Photo backup enabled? If so, you should be able to recover them from the cloud.
Are you trying to recover the photos that were in the folder after you transferred them to your PC? Are the photos on your PC? If so, are you just trying to get the folder back for when you take new photos? If that's the case, not to worry. The folder will either recreate itself when you take a new photo, or you can just manually create the folder. If you deleted the folder before they were transferred to your PC, @LongHiker is correct that your photos should be in Google photos and/or OneDrive if you have OneDrive and were syncing/backing up to it. Google photo backup is on by default unless you specifically disabled it.
