Android Photos App

[dklarz]

I accidently hit the backup command in Photos that cleared 1.5G from my phone. Now I have lost everything in my photo gallery that I spent a lot of time organizing and would prefer not have to do it again. Can I get the gallery back on my phone? Where are the Backup files stored? Samsung 6S Active, Android 7.0. Thanks for the help...

Can I get the gallery back on my phone?

Yes, if the phone is rooted and you have a deleted file restore app installed in it. (Rooting and installing an app can overwrite the deleted pictures.)

Where are the Backup files stored?

There are none, unless you made a backup (which you should - of everything you don't want to lose. Some place other than the phone. And keep it up to date. There are no "backups" of a phone that got driven over by a truck right after you dropped it.
