Unable to see recently deleted photos on family iCloud storage

So often I just hit those "Are you sure?" buttons without even thinking about it. You can see this:

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

Basically the above says to look in Recently Deleted and in Hidden. Be sure to check your Library thoroughly-- the pictures may not be where you expect. You can now sort the Library by date captured or by date added.. Also, your Library view now has filters, and you may not have your filter set to "All Items:"

If you don't keep your own backups to an external drive, then there really isn't any place else to look.

First, iCloud Photos isn't a backup service. iCloud is a synchronization service. If you delete a picture on your Mac, then that picture is deleted at iCloud and on all the other devices. You can't think of iCloud Photos as a backup service, since it backs up mistakes, and there's no way to undo them. Whatever you do with Photos on your device-- it happens everywhere else.

I cannot see those in the recently deleted folder (only older deleted ones). any reason why I cannot view those? Thanks

I wonder what "device" she was using. How did she delete the pictures? It sounds like she deleted them from Recently Deleted. That, too, is synchronized.
