Are my pictures permanently deleted from yahoo mail

I'm here to help you with your concern!

When you delete a picture from your Yahoo Mail account, it's not permanently deleted from the Yahoo servers. Yahoo Mail uses a process called "trash" or "recycle bin" to store deleted items, including pictures, for a certain period of time.

Here's what happens when you delete a picture from your Yahoo Mail account:

1. The picture is moved to the "Trash" folder, where it remains for a limited time (usually 30 days).
2. During this time, you can recover the picture by going to the Trash folder and clicking "Restore" next to the picture.
3. If you don't recover the picture within the 30-day period, it's permanently deleted from the Yahoo servers.

However, it's important to note that even after the 30-day period, Yahoo may still retain a copy of the picture for a longer period of time, depending on their data retention policies. This is because Yahoo may need to retain certain data for legal, regulatory, or business purposes.

If you're concerned about the deletion of your pictures, I recommend taking a few precautions:

1. Regularly back up your Yahoo Mail account by downloading your emails and attachments to your computer or an external storage device.
2. Use a third-party email client or app that allows you to access and manage your Yahoo Mail account, which may provide additional features for managing deleted items.
3. Consider using a cloud storage service like Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive to store your pictures and other files, which can be accessed from multiple devices and platforms.

I hope this information helps alleviate your concerns about the deletion of your pictures from Yahoo Mail!
