Was it Synchronized with iCloud?

If so, view iCloud, and find out if anything resides in there.

A Few Thoughts:

  • Download them:

Go Here: Download iCloud Photos and Videos - Apple Support

A typical image is 2-4MB (1000MB = 1GB, that's up to 4GB (roughly, at maximum), and there is 5GB for free iCloud Storage. So, see if you can download these.


  • Check other items than just Photos

Other items may reside, so check those options too.
