I accidentally deleted my photos from my photo app on my Mac. How do I get them back? It said to put them in a folder, which I did. Now what do I do?

Deleted photos are normally moved to the Recently Deleted album for 30 days. Have a look at the related article:

If you created another folder for them, check this article:
