At some point a user of your pc (or that hard drive) browsed web pages that contained those pics. If the pics are large then they were probably downloaded.
Assuming you have not ticked the Scan for Non-Deleted Files option then everything that Recuva returns has been deleted and is not taking usable space from you. If you want to get rid of these pics then tick the checkbox alongside them, right click and select Secure Overwrite Checked. You can do whole blocks if you wish, or even the whole list if you tick the top l/h box (but that will overwrite everything).
The only way to scan for your own pics is to look through what Recuva has returned.
If you chose the option Deep Scan Recuva will return (eventually) far more files, and possibly far more rude pics. You can overwrite these in the same way as described above. You might also find some of your pics there (not amongst the rude pics, but in the deep scan).
