How to recover your deleted Photos from Facebook
You can download all your information on Facebook. This includes your photos, videos and publications, and that’s where we have our bonus: all your images posted, including those that were deleted, are downloaded from this file. Follow the steps below and see how to recover your deleted Photos from Facebook:
- On the Facebook homepage, click the top menu and select “Settings and privacy”;
- Select “Settings”;
- Go to “Your information on Facebook”
- Select “Download a copy your Facebook data”. You can also choose the “Transfer a copy of your photos or videos” option to Google Photos;
- Choose what information you want to download;
- Click the “Create file” button;
- After receiving the confirmation email, go to “Available files” and click “Download”.
After the download is finished, unzip the file to access the content and search for the “photos” folders. There will be all your photos and images shared in albums and on the timeline. Now just look for the desired photo.
If the deleted photo was shared on Facebook through your PC, there is still a possibility to try to find the photo without relying on the social network.
If you are using Windows 10, you can try Windows File Recovery, Microsoft’s tool for recovering deleted files. Or you can use some programs that help you search for deleted files like Recoverit, available for Windows and macOS.
What happens to photos of a deleted account?
