First time ever, I deleted a group of pictures by mistake.  I can't find any kind of place on this phone where they might be.  I guess they are gone with the wind.........or are they???

Anyone know?

Maybe call Tracphone and tell them which model your phone is and they can give guidance. In general, most phones have an area where “recently deleted” pictures are held and then, at a set expiration interval, they are permanently deleted. If Tracphone maintains a Cloud for their customers, then all your saved photos may have been backed up on their Cloud and those you deleted are retrievable. 

I would  either call Tracphone directly or I’d take the model number and Google it as “Tracphone model ABC123 and deleted photos” and see how this has been addressed. There are way more chances of commentary and advice on a Google search relating to your model.

Is it an android phone? They could be synced to your google account and on the cloud.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to also post over on the Electronics forum.

Hi Tends2dogs, sorry you lost a group of pictures.

Tracfone user here, too, a Samsung Galaxy J3, and my backup is using Samsung's Cloud for (phone) but also syncs data across other Samsung devices like my Samsung Galaxy Tablet, which I use, as well. Even backup to my Google gmail account, too.

Don't know what kind of phone you are using, but if it is an android those are a few of the options you can take to avoid losing pictures, text messages, etc. in the future.

I would call Tracphone customer.

Wow I  hope you can get them back. Did you look into the download folder section of phone? And thanks, because youre post reminded me I need to get my pictures off my Tracfone! I have tons and I cant get them off using the cord from phone to my computer, I have to send all my pictures to myself via email OR Facebook instant messenger which takes forever when you have a lot. Because I still like to put them on disc and get a lot printed (old school).

If you search “how to retrieve deleted pictures from tracphone” and your model and make of phone you will see step by step instructions. 

Hope this works for you.
