Foolishly I put my photos file in the Bin - thought I had two photo file Google and Apple and was just deleting a duplicate. Tried to rescue ….Now getting message for last 12 hours preparing to move to desktop. What can I do. I also have an iPad and iPhone so presumably the photos are on there …. Please advise
Got a tip for us?

If you sync to iCloud, you can set up a new library, and it should download the files.
You could also use the command line to move the file.
This should show the files and folders in the Trash.
If you did not change the name, the default library name is "Photos Library.photoslibrary".
This will move the library inside the Trash to the Home folder. It should be faster than the Finder.
You could also use the command line to move the file.
Code:
cd ~/.Trash
ls -lAIf you did not change the name, the default library name is "Photos Library.photoslibrary".
Code:
mv "Photos Library.photoslibrary" ..this sounds really helpful. thanks. I've increased my iCloud storage.
