Keepr Keepr has no trash and no undo. This page exists mostly to make sure that isn't a surprise.
Deleting is immediate and permanent#
When you delete a photo it's gone. There's no recycle bin holding it for thirty days, no "recently deleted" album, and no way to get it back.
Most photo apps do have that safety net, so the absence is worth stating plainly rather than letting someone discover it.
It goes for everyone#
A photo in a shared album disappears for everyone who could see it — the hub members, the circles it was shared with, everyone. Deleting isn't "remove from my view".
If what you want is for it not to appear for certain people, that's hiding, which is reversible and affects nobody else.
Who can delete what#
- The person who uploaded a photo can delete it.
- The album's owner can remove photos from their album.
- In a Family Hub album, an admin can switch off members deleting their own uploads — useful for a shared family album that shouldn't lose photos to someone's tidying.
You can't delete photos from an album you merely have access to.
Deleting an album#
Removes the album and the photos in it from Keepr. Same rules: permanent, and gone for everyone who could reach it.
If an album has other people's photos in it — likely in a hub or a shared album — deleting it takes those out of the family's shared archive too. Consider whether you want the album gone or just want it out of your way.
Stacks#
Deleting a photo that's the top of a stack will ask whether you mean just that one or the whole stack. The rest stay visible either way.
Before deleting a lot#
Selecting hundreds of photos and confirming is quick, and there's nothing to undo it. Two minutes of care beats an unrecoverable mistake:
- Download anything you might want, or export everything if you're doing a big clear-out.
- Check the selection, particularly after using select-all with a filter applied.
- Consider whether you want space rather than removal. If the real goal is storage, removing originals frees more and keeps every photo.
Deleting your whole account#
