so i accidently put the auto download all photos to iCloud. which i don't like, so i paused it and it like messed up the disk space so when i tried to turn the iCloud download off it needed more storage so i deleted all the phots on the ICLOUD photos, and it got all my storage down, but still wasn't enough to turn it off so i just gave up on that, when i went back later and looked at my photos it deleted them all. i had many MANY art projects and other commissions on there that are now all gone. no clue if there is some way it get it back. if there is please do tell

Set up and use iCloud Photos - Apple Support

If you're missing photos or videos in the Photos app - Apple Support (IE)
