Are the photos at iCloud.com/Photos using a computer browser? Do you see a Recently Deleted album? Is there a Recently Deleted album in the Photos application?


Try going to System Preferences/iCloud and stop syncing by unchecking the box. Wait a couple of minutes, then check syncing. Allow time for the sync to complete.


Last resort  - have you tried signing out of iCloud and then sign back in?
