I deleted all my photos...

Hi everyone,
after several hours of editing work on 200 photos, i wanted to delete 1 photo and guess what... i had all the photos selected and so i deleted them all
Before this, i didn't quit Lightroom so it didn't create a backup of these last edits.
I was able to recover the RAW from the trash, but now is there a way to recover all my editing work ?
Thank you for all.

Quite fortuitously (but too late for the OP), Jeffrey Friedl has just announced a new plug in:
"Today I'm releasing “Workflow delete Options”, which helps address a couple of issues with how Lightroom handles delete requests.
In some situations Lightroom silently deletes more than you ask for, and in other cases, less. This plugin lets you be alerted to these situations so you can make an informed decision about what to do."
It might have prevented the OP's disaster (and the similar experiences of many other Lr users). Check it out here: http://regex.info/blog/2013-07-11/2283

  • I have a iPhone 5.  In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera.  I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Help!

    I have a iPhone 5.  In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera.  I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail.   Both iTunes  and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it.  What is going on?

    Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

  • After updating my iPad 3, I have almost no space left, yet I deleted all my photos, videos, and emails. What else needs to be deleted?

    My iPad 3 is for school, so I take a ton of notes on notability. I just updated it recently, and I have almost no space. My iPad has a 16 GB capacity, and my usage says I have used up 13.3 GB. I deleted all my photos, all my videos, most of my music, almost all of my notes, and 75% of all my apps. But everyday it seems like there is more space being used up. I don't get it. It's making my iPad shut down randomly and is not letting me take any photos, even though I have no photos!! It is very annoying! Help!

    If Other (the yellow bar) is too big something is corrupted.  The only solution (that I know of) is to restore from your most recent backup using iTunes (see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766).

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    It won't affect any photos in photo stream but any photos within the back up itself will go.

  • I'm giving away my old iPhone 4.   I've deleted all my photos taken with the iPhone.  However, I can't delete the photo album which was taken with my Canon Camera and downloaded to my iPhone from my PC.  How can I remove this album?

    I am giving away my old iPhone 4 with IOS.7 installed. 
    I have deleted all my photos taken with this iPhone, however, I cannot delete
    a photo album I had downloaded from my computer to my iPhone 4.  I've tried via iTunes and
    I've tried to delete them in the same manner as I've deleted photos taken with the iPhone but
    not this album.   HELP  ?
    Thank you.

    You should erase all contents and setting before giving your iphone away.

  • How do I get a new iTunes account to create a backup of what's on my wifes iPhone without deleting all the photos and stuff?

    How do I get a new iTunes account to create a backup of what's on my wifes iPhone without deleting all the photos and stuff?

    Well, I believe I found it.....
    When I connect the IPhone the device name pops up under devices in the selection column. Right click on the device name and select "Back-up".....
    If this is incorrect please let others know as I won't be able to because my wife will have destroyed all computers in the house for losing her data.

  • My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos?

    My iphone storage is full due to my large photo library. As I want to go on taking more photos, if I back up my phone to icloud, can I then delete all my photos from my iphone to make room for new photos? Or will the next time I back up lose all those previously backed up as it is a 'new' set of data?
    I just want to find the easiest and safest way of not losing all my photos while being able to take more than my iPhones storage worth as it is already full - can someone help me please? I thought icloud was the solution to not uploading my photos to the mac but I'm not sure if the way it's going is working and don't want to delete photos or lose my phone and then find out what I'm doing isn't actually storing my photos permanently. Thanks

    Hey EmilyEliza,
    As you are clearly aware, it is important for you to have backups of your important data, including all of these photos you are currently keeping on your iPhone. While it is possible to use iTunes or iCloud to do backups of your iPhone, the problem becomes how to access those backups if you have deleted the photos from your iPhone. Once you have done the backup and then removed the photos from the iPhone, the only way to access the photos is by restoring the backups to the phone. See this article for information about backups made from the iPhone -
    Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
    If you want to easily access the photos once they are off of the iPhone, another approach to this would be to import your photos from the iPhone into an application on your Mac, such as iPhoto. To learn how to do this, use the steps in this article -
    Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your Mac or Windows PC - Apple Support
    Once those photos are on your computer, it is still important to back up those photos to somewhere else, so you can be sure of their safety before removing them from the iPhone. Your Mac’s Time Machine application is one method of doing this -
    Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

    I just downloaded IOS 8 on my Iphone 5 and to do so i had to delete all my photos to clear space, but before so I selected all of them and copied them. The only place I can seem to be able to paste and see them is while making a new message in gmail and then when i tried to send them the message comes back blank and looks like below. what can i do to retrieve them?
    <Edited by Host>

    As razmee209 said, you can use iTunes to install photos on your phone from wherever you have them stored. Where did you copy them to? Are you saying you selected them on you phone and just hit "copy"? That would only copy one at a time to the "clipboard" so that you can paste it somewhere else. As you copy each one, the previous one is deleted from the clipboard. This is not a storage area. Did you back them up on your computer or in iCloud?

  • Hi,  iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.   Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos

    Hi,
    iTunes is no longer syncing my iPhoto library to my iPhone 4. Everything was syncing fine when I first got the phone, but, over the past week or so, it's stopped syncing photos.
    Now, after attempting to start from scratch by deleting all the photos on my iPhone, iTunes won't sync ANY photos from iPhoto back to my iPhone. I've restarted my phone, computer, etc., force quit all photo-related apps on my iPhone, and tried various combinations of turning iTunes' photo syncing on/off, switching photo sync folders, etc., all to no avail -- I can't get my iPhoto library back on to my iPhone no matter what I do.
    Anyone encounter a similar situation? (I've already sent feedback to Apple.) Thanks in advance.

    Try deleting what is called the iPod Photo Cache.

    Restore from your back up seems an obvious solution.

  • HT4528 how do I delete all my photos from my phone

    How do I delete all my photos from my phone using my phone?

    Photos on your iPhone that were transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process cannot be deleted direct from the iPhone. These photos are removed from your iPhone the same way - via the iTunes sync process.
    Photos in the Camera Roll can be deleted direct from the iPhone. With the Camera Roll selected, select the icon at the top right. Select the photos you want to delete followed by selecting the Red delete button at the bottom right.

  • How do I get more space to update my iPhone 4 to iOS7? I am currently on iOS 6.1.3 with 6.3 GB capacity, 1.4 GB available AFTER deleting all apps, photos, music, and videos, and I need 3.8 GB.

    Update using iTunes on your computer. The space requirement does not apply because of how the process works via iTunes as opposed to over the air.
