I restarted my phone today and the photos (and folder) reappeared. I did as Javier P suggested and began force stopping apps, clearing their cache/data, and checking file explorer to see if the photos were still there. No matter which app I tried, including Viva Video, the photos were still...

Re: Unknown DCIM folder randomly appearing after multiple deletions This is great advice. Thank you! I will definitely try this when the photos reappear. When you deleted them, did they ever come back? I now have six sets of the photos in my trash that I deleted just in the past 2 weeks...
