Question:

Why can't I find my deleted photos and videos in the trash folder of my Gallery?

Answer:

Deleted items usually remain in the Trash folder for up to 30 days before they are permanently removed.

However, there's a known issue affecting some Galaxy devices running on Android 11 (R OS) that might cause this problem.

This issue will be addressed through future updates of the Gallery app, so it's essential to check for updates regularly using FOTA (Firmware Over The Air).

Updating your Gallery app to the latest version (12.1.04.6 or later) should resolve the issue, allowing you to see your deleted files again.

To keep your device running smoothly and efficiently, always make sure you update your software and apps to their most recent versions.
