Hi,
Like a fool, I hit delete on “My Photostream” on my iMac and all 48,000 images duly disappeared.

Does anyone know how I can restore the images?

I do use time machine but. Do not use iCloud to back up my photos.

Cheers,

Steve.

Are they not in the Recently Deleted album?

Hi Sam,
Yes they were in recently deleted and I was able to restore them to “Photos” so they are not lost, its just that photostream is now empty.

Can you drag & drop those photos into Photostream? Or at least some of them.

Hi Sam,

I can drag pics from Photos to favourites and albums but not to photostream

I think Photostream’s automatically generated, so it’s just a transient list of Photos you’ve taken rather than an editable album. It’ll build back up naturally, and photos will be deleted after 30 days anyway.
