I deleted a bunch of photos from my gallery a couple of years ago and I'm trying to recover them now. Most of the deleted photos from that time have been successfully recovered using different apps, but there's a specific group of photos that just won't show up. I remember keeping them in a gallery album and deleted the whole album at once. Could this be impacting my ability to recover those particular photos? What's going on?

It sounds like you're running into a common issue. When you delete photos, especially by deleting an entire album, they can sometimes get permanently marked as deleted in your device's storage. Even though some photos might be recoverable, the ones you’re looking for could have been overwritten, especially if it’s been a while. Devices continuously write and overwrite data, and if those files got overwritten, it’s tough to get them back. Hang in there, though; you might still want to try a professional recovery service as a last resort!
I agree, but also, keep in mind that some recovery apps have better luck with certain types of deletions. Maybe try a couple different methods or tools to see if one has better luck?
