My photos are gone.

[AC Question]

I was recently clearing up some memory on my Moto G 4 Plus. After clearing the 'others' section, I noticed that all my photos from the previous day were missing. Note: I was on vacation, so no access to the internet, no back up. Any software I could use that would let me recover the data for free? Or any other way?

If you use Google Photos app, this way may help you get them back to your phone.
Go back to the Google Photos app.
At the top left, tap Menu Menu.
Tap Trash Remove.
Touch and hold the photo or video you want to recover.
At the top right, tap Restore Undo.
This will put the photo or video back:
Onto your phone
Into the "Photos" section of the app
Into any albums it was in

Welcome to Android Central. The only way to recover the files would be to root the device and install recovery software. If the device has been used since deleting the photos some may not be recoverable. Sorry.
