How do I access pictures in the trash folder

[Android Central Question]

I thought I moved some photos from my album to external storage but I can't seem to get them back

You have a trash folder?

Welcome to the forums. What phone and gallery app are you using? In Google Photos, for example, you need to open the side menu and select 'Trash'.

Unless he specifically saves to Google photos, why you wouldn't I don't know, but the Gallery on my OS 7 has no trash to go to.

Android, and most apps that run in Android, have no "trash" - that's a Windows thing. In Android, delete is delete.

This thread is one example of why you should never move anything you don't have backed up off the phone. Copy it, paste it and check the pasted copy. If it's good, delete the original. That's all Move does, but if it blows up due to some little error, you lose the copy and the original.
