Google Locked Folder Deleted with All My Photos In It

extremely frustrated with the situation regarding my locked folder on Google. All the photos in the locked folder have been deleted from both my device and Google. Despite having backups, I find myself in this distressing situation, and currently, unable to get any support from anywhere. My photos are gone, and can't access them. The locked folder appears empty, and even after reinstalling the application, it remains completely empty. This is a severe breach of data security, and I'm left without a clue on how to recover my precious photos. The lack of assistance and resolution from Google is just the worst... urgently need a solution to retrieve my lost data.
