Photos auto wiped out from Gallery and Google Photos

[Android Central Question]

I'm a Huawei P20 Pro user, tonight is the second time my photos got wiped out from my gallery and Google photos for no reason at all, anyone know how to restore? I have 5000 pics gone..

Look on Google Photos and see if they've been backed up.

Same, both places I see the number of photos zoomed down from 5000+ to only 468..
