  2. Select the deleted images, filter these files by data or name to save time.
  3. Right click on the selected image file and then click on "Restore" button.

2. Undelete Photos in Windows 10 from Previous Versions

If you can't find the deleted photos in recycle bin, don't be frustrated as there is a chance to undelete lost photos from Previous Versions, which are copies of files and folders that Windows automatically saves as part of a restore point.

  1. Open a window and browse to the Pictures folder that contains the photos you want to recover.
  2. Right click on the folder and select “Restore previous versions”.
Notice
To use this method, a windows restore point must have been enabled. But this method doesn't always work, sometimes you may just get the message "There Are No Previous Versions Available".
