The "photos" app is Google backup. Every picture in photos should be in Google Cloud (photos). If you want to download to your PC; goto your Google account on PC, open photos app - all of your pictures should appear. From there you can download images to pc ( I generally create folders & then download each folder; for me it is easier to locate individual pictures stored on the PC). If you delete pictures in Photos app, Google will save them for 60 days, can be pulled back from "trash"
