How To Recover Photos That Were Cut and Pasted to PC?

I recently moved files from my iPhone 6S to my PC by cutting and pasting them from the DCIM folder to Windows Explorer. However, I lost my PC accidentally so I wonder if there is any software that can recover data from my smartphone. I have tried sorts of recovery applications but they can only recover files deleted while not files removed. Any fix will be appreciated!!!

Hi there, transferring files by cutting and pasting is only possible in the Apple eco-system, which can not be operated between an iPhone 6S and a PC. As for the files removed from your phone, you can only restore them from iCloud. If you haven't enabled iCloud to back up your iPhone, you cannot recover photos any longer.

Take care~
