How to Recover Deleted Photos in Pluto Photos
Open Protect, then Recently Deleted. Select the photo and click Restore to put it back. Deleted photos are kept for 30 days before they are removed for good.
Included in the free version of Pluto Photos (up to 500 photos).
#1. What happens when you delete
Select a photo and click Delete from Disk. A confirmation asks Move to Recently Deleted? and explains that the photo is removed permanently after 30 days unless you restore it first. Click Remove.
#2. Open Recently Deleted
Open the Protect menu and choose Recently Deleted. Each deleted photo shows how long it has left, such as 30d left.
#3. Select the photo and click Restore
Click the photo to select it. Restore and Delete Permanently appear, along with Select all and Clear. Click Restore and the photo goes back into your library.
#4. Or empty it for good
Empty Recently Deleted removes everything in it at once, and Delete Permanently removes just the selected photos. Both ask you to confirm, and neither can be undone.
#Tips
- 30 days is the limit. After that the photo is gone for good, so restore early.
- Recently Deleted is a safety net, not a backup. Set up automatic folder backup as well.
- Photos you remove with the duplicate finder land here too, so you can bring back a copy you deleted by mistake.
#Questions
- How long do deleted photos stay in Recently Deleted?
- 30 days. Each photo shows how many days it has left.
- Can I recover a photo after Delete Permanently?
- No. Delete Permanently and Empty Recently Deleted cannot be undone, which is why both ask you to confirm.
