iPhoto or Photos? Are you syncing photos using iCloud? If so, have you gone to iCloud.com/Photos using a computer browser to see if the photos are there? Have you checked for a Recently Deleted album in the application and in iCloud?



Try going to System Preferences/iCloud (Apple ID for Catalina) and stop Photo 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?
