please help a tech-illiterate idiot Anonymous 266954
I use an adroid phone that has google photos on it. I decided I wanted to back up my photos, but didn't have enough space on my google drive. So I went through and deleted thousands of pictures.
Now I'm regretting the decision. I went to the garbage can folder and pressed "return all photos" but it says I don't have enough storage space to return them. Tried turning off backup and the same message appeared. Is there any way to restore my photos without paying Google?

If your phone doesn’t have a microsd slot, you can get a USB-c flash drive and shove it up there.
You can also plug the phone into a pc and move the photos over to the pc.

>>266954When you go into the photos app on your phone, you have a google account linked to it right? Should be in the upper right hand corner with your profile picture.
Log into that account on a computer, restore your photos from trash and save those photos to a thumb drive or some other external hard drive.

>>267018Thank you! I don't have a computer but I was somehow able to restore the files using my phone's file manager.

make a new gmail account, that will give you more 15gb of drive, save your recent photos there, detele from your old account than restore the old pictures.
