    Hello,

    Is this a personal account or a work/school account?

    If it is personal account, unfortunately once deleted from Recycle Bin, it is gone. It works as it is designed to do, the files cannot be recovered.

    If this is a work/school account, it might be recoverable, depending on each organization's retention policy. Reach out to your organization's IT support team, they would know what the retention policy is for your organization and can recover for you if it is still within the defined retention period.

    Hello,

    Please check the OneDrive Recycle bin and restore the photos if they are still there.

    However, if the photos were permanently deleted from the OneDrive Recycle bin, they cannot be recovered.

    Delete, purge or restore files from your OneDrive using the OneDrive mobile app
