I accidentally deleted some photos from my Samsung phone a few days ago and I even cleared them out of the trash folder. I've tried using one recovery tool, but it didn't find anything. I'm really hoping there's a way to recover them since they're not saved on my Samsung Cloud either and were also removed from Google Images. It's been less than a week, so shouldn't there be a chance? Any help would be appreciated!

When something is permanently deleted, it usually means it’s gone for good. Unfortunately, there's no magic button for recovery once you've deleted items from the trash too.
You might still have a chance! Consider reaching out to a professional data recovery service; it can be pricey, but they might be able to help you recover those lost photos. Just a tip, though: stop using the phone for now—overwriting data could make recovery tougher!
Even if you haven't taken new pictures or downloaded anything, it could still be risky. The more you use it, the less likely you'll get those photos back.
I've already used my phone a bit since then, though... about four days with Wi-Fi.
