Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Are you certain the photo files are actually still saved to the phone's internal storage (or SD card)? Could it be that they've all been backed up to your Google Photos in the cloud, and then you used the Free Up Space feature in Google Photos that locally deletes any of the photos that have already been backed up?
