I am in deep trouble guys pls help 😭 🙏.

Currently on Hyperos .

Yesterday, I opened the Gallery app, and out of curiosity, clicked the backup prompt visible on the top.

\-> I realized that it already started backing up the photos which I already backed up (I thought it was asking me to have access to Google Photos).

\-> So, to not let my data run off, I turned backup off and then turned it on in the Google Photos app.

\-> I noticed that all the files (camera folder, which was backed up) were wiped out from local storage.

\-> Freaking out once again, I reacted with turning off backup again but his time via the Gallery app prompt itself. But this time, photos started disappearing from Google Photos home page as well. But fortunately, they returned when I turned on backup again.

\-> After calming down, I realized the following things:

(i) All the images of the camera folder were wiped out (however the backup remained on the Google Photos).

(ii) I also noticed there was a folder named “Restored” in the Gallery app. (It stored all the stuff that showed up in the homepage of Google Photos before this disaster occured like the Camera images , camera video and screenshots)

However it saved nothing new as when I clicked a random pic which showed up in Google Photos but didn’t showed up in the “Restored” folder.

(iii) Also, all the files in this folder weren’t offline; they all showed the option to download (which upon downloading were saved to the local folder named as “Restored” from where I can transfer it to the original location).

(iv) Checking the local storage as well, I found that all files from the camera & screenshots folder were wiped out from local storage.

\-> So I took the risk of clicking a new pic and turning off gallery access to Google Photos from the same prompt button turning it on again to check if it disappeared from the camera folder again.

\-> But this time nothing like that happened; it remained in the camera folder neither it got saved in the “Restored” folder. So I clearly don’t know why it happened the first time only.

Now, the only way to revert back to normal is to download all stuff from the “Restored” folder and then transfer them to their respective folders, which obviously is really hectic to do (includes overall 1000+ items to do so).

So, is there any shortcut/fix I can do to make them go to their respective original location with their respective details (date taken on, location info, etc being the same.)
