Moved multiple photos in gallery on S22u but finger slipped and all now missing?

[1ceTr0n]

I tried moving multiple photos to a different folder using Samsung Gallery on my S22 Ultra but fat fingered somehow and they are missing suddenly!

I honestly cannot remember what the hell I did but I had a few hundred photos in the gallery selected to move but I slipped my finger and some how they are just gone. I cannot find them moved into any folders, I've tried several file recovery apps immediately after but they found nothing, I tried looking via photo files using adndroid file explorer but they are just instantly gone? What the hell happened and what are my options now?

Have you looked in the recycle bin of whatever app you were using? Or tried filtering or searching in the My Files app?

Welcome to Android Central! Were the photos on Internal Storage or an SD card?

Unfortunately doesn't look like there a way unless u had them back up like Google photos or one drive

Recovering deleted files on Internal Storage is very difficult, if not impossible, and requires rooting: [Guide] Recovering Deleted Files - Android Forums at AndroidCentral.com
