Android Central Question

After turning off Google Photos backup/sync in interest of keeping photos out of the cloud, all of my camera photos have disappeared.
They still remain in the Google Photos app, and I'm generally just kind of confused as to why photos end up there, and why the local copies are gone.
I have already tried turning Google Photos backup and sync back on, fiddling with folder settings, and connecting to my PC.
I just want my camera photos back on my phone and a way to stop dealing with Google Photos sync, trash bin, archive, album shenanigans.

I have a Huawei P10.
Thanks
 
Welcome to Android Central! Any automatic "storage cleaner" functions turned on, or 3rd party "phone cleaner" apps installed?
