Zzzz are you on PC? Is it windows? If you go into start menu, does it not say documents, downloads and photos?
Im assuming these photos are those you have tr from a camera to computer?

Is it the icon with photos that has dissappeared?

Im no expert but they will be still there somewhere

If you have a taskbar at the bottom showing a brown folder that is file explorer, click on that and down the left side it should give a list of contents like documents etc and should have photos.If so click on this and see if they are there.
