Similar to the Trash bin recovery on Mac, which can let you get back the recently deleted files, the Recently Deleted folder in Photos also saves the latest removed pictures for 30 days for easy restoration. If you want to find some deleted photos, this folder is a life-saving straw for you. When you find there's no "Recently Deleted" folder, you might ask where a deleted photo goes on Mac and how to find it. In this post, we will help you restore this folder and tell you the reason why it disappeared.

How to Find Recently Deleted Photos on Mac
- On Mac OS X: Open "Photos", go to "File" and click "Show Recently Deleted".
- On macOS: Open "Photos", find "Recently Deleted" folder on the right sidebar.
If both the above two methods are failed, you can delete a photo first, and then try these methods again.
Why You Can't Find Recently Deleted Folder in Photos
Like we said before, the Recently Deleted folder in photos only keeps the removed images for 30 days. Longer than this, the deleted photos will be permanently deleted, and the Recently Deleted folder won't be there as it only shows when it has pictures in it. It means all your deleted photos are more than 30 days old.
How to Recover Permanently Deleted Photos on Mac
If you want to recover a photo, but it has exceeded the 30-days limit, what you can do is to turn to data recovery software. In this article, we'd like to recommend EaseUS Data Recovery for Mac.
