Pictures missing HELPP!!!

[Kairon Manzano]

Ok so I'm having a serious problem with my HTC U11. Recently I used the free up space that appears in the photos section thinking it would just remove cache items. Since then it seemed like alot of my pic albums vanished. My recent Twitter, Tumblr, snapseed, lightroom, IG basically any recently updated album were gone. I took some pictures in July and Aug that should be in the camera/DCIM folder were gone. I plugged in the phone to the computer to see if the pictures were on the phone, they were gone as well. The weird thing is, when I open the google photos app I see the pics in the main area but not in the albums....please help its driving me crazy

When you use free up space it deletes the pictures from your device leaving them in the cloud.
