Try going apps image gallery
And clear the image gallery cache
And check the image gallery

Also go my files app
Settings and click to show
Hidden file's and check
The file's recycle bin

Hi @Mbaker  Are you photos not backed up anywhere else, seems you have  have tried  My Files and  Google photos?  Do you have syncronisation with One Drive set up or have other back up options such as DropBox?   Some information also in this article ,though the part relating to Samsung cloud is no longer applicable.  https://www.appgeeker.com/android-data-recovery/photos-disappeared-from-gallery-on-samsung-phone.htm...

My pics are all backed up to google photos all the albums. But can't sink to the gallery Comes up to one drive which Comes up full need to pay. Never used one drive before

If the photos are in Google photos try clicking download to download to image gallery
