On April 28, this year I used CleanmyPC and it deleted pictures from the “My Photos” folder, I had several pictures in there, how can I recover it? My PC is windows 11 and 8GB RAM.

I need those photos urgently as they are very much precious to me. Can anyone help?

I’m sorry to hear about your situation — losing precious photos can be distressing. Since you’re using Windows 11 and used CleanMyPC, it’s possible that the software deleted the images permanently or moved them to the Recycle Bin.
First, check your Recycle Bin to see if the photos remain; if so, you can easily restore them. If they’re not there, and if you had File History or any backup enabled on your system, you might be able to restore the images from a previous backup.
If no backup is available, you can use reliable photo recovery software such as Stellar Photo Recovery or any other trusted tool. Make sure you install the software on a different drive to avoid overwriting the deleted data, and scan the drive where the “My Photos” folder was located.
