Windows 10: Onedrive will not restore deleted "samsung gallery," folder

I got tired of the "you are nearing your 5gb limit," prompt from onedrive which I never utilize so I thought i would take a look. I saw my onedrive was backing up a samsung gallery folder.

Photos deleted from gallery, deleted on Onedrive

Hi Lrs1436,



Thanks for your post in Microsoft Community.



It sounds like your photos deleted from gallery have also been deleted on Onedrive.

First I suggest you try to check maybe the Deleted Galary on your phone to see if it's possible to get deleted photos back. Then you may try to visit the OneDrive website to see if the photos you synced are there. If not, you may follow the steps listed on this link | Find lost or missing files in OneDrive (microsoft.com) to see if they could be found back.



Feel free to post back if you need further assistance.
