I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your photos. CCleaner is designed to clean up junk and temporary files from your computer or Android phone, but it is not intended to delete personal files such as photos. It's possible that something went wrong during the cleaning process that caused your photos to be deleted.
Unfortunately, once files are deleted, they can be difficult to recover, especially if the space on the phone has been overwritten with new data. However, here are some things you can try:
1. Check your cloud storage: If you have any cloud storage services like Google Photos or Dropbox, check to see if the missing photos were synced to the cloud. They may still be available there.
2. Check your phone's trash or recycle bin: Some Android phones have a trash or recycle bin feature that temporarily stores deleted files before permanently deleting them. Check if your phone has this feature and if the missing photos are still in there.
4. Contact a professional data recovery service: If the missing photos are extremely important to you and you are unable to recover them yourself, you can consider contacting a professional data recovery service. These services specialize in recovering data from damaged or corrupted storage devices, but they can be expensive.
I hope one of these options helps you recover your missing photos. In the future, be sure to back up important files regularly to prevent losing them in case of accidental deletion or device failure.
