There might be - where have they disappeared from? If it's from you
computer hard disk - most likely no. If it's from a camera memory card or
a flash drive - very possibly.

Quite right! We don't even know if they disappeared from the data
storage device or maybe only from the index of whatever viewing software
he is using.

Well, for a file recovery program there is really not much difference
between a hard disk and a flash drive/memory card. As long as the data
has not been overwritten it can be recovered. Just the effort may be
much larger on a larger HD.
Another factor would be which file system the OP used on that device.
Some make recovery significantly easier than others.
Also the OS could be significant. Some OS resp. their GUI provides
"Recycle Bins" or something similar.
And of course there is always the last backup before the delete, isn't
there?

There most certainly is a huge difference. Modern OSs rewrite large
portions of the hard drive without the owner/operator ever being aware of
it - they are quite dynamic. It would be quite likely that some or much of
the data has been overwritten.

My system has a "recycle bin" that deleted photos from the hard drive go
into when deleted, if you haven't emptied this 'recycle bin" you can
bring up the recycle bin just like any other folder and it has an option
to restore your deleted photo.

Use a file recovery programme.

What is from a camera card? What are you talking about?

>thanks

Whom are you thanking for what?

It has been a proven custom on Usenet for the past 25 years to quote
enough context such that any posting can be understood on its own
standing.

Oh, then my solution won't work. A few days ago, I accidentally deleted
my photos on a camera card.

I haven't managed that (yet). Matter of time probably.

Well, we were shooting a lot of photos that day, with multiple copies to
the computer and I had a 'senior moment'. Luckily I was just testing my
camera for different settings and didn't have any 'must have' photos on it.

On another thread you answered a comment that I made about sensors
getting too hot in a car. I just checked my manual for both cameras and
it said to store under 122 degrees F.

Well, not to belabour it, but a padded camera bag insulates well. Just
keep it in a shaded spot of the car.
