Just had a huge scare thinking I accidentally deleted all my saved photos and videos.

Holy SHIT that scared me.

Now would be the time to do a backup. Either get an external hard drive or a cloud service. 50 bucks for a terrabyte. 120 for 5 terabytes. Pretty cheap. Cloud storage might be better, though: like iDrive. 15 bucks for a year of storage.

I'd also invest in a surge protector, while you're at it, if you don't have one.

Also set a system restore point.

How did you do that?

Earlier today I emptied the trash off my laptop. Just now I looked for the folder icon for my photo library and it wasn't where it always is. I looked around my desktop but it wasn't there. I had accidentally moved it into another folder when I was dragging some photos.

You can back them up on icloud. They will get leaked and then you will never loose them..

@Chorma: There's not much there that would be interesting to you. A bunch of people you don't know, videos of me committing various forms of vandalism, photos of food...

Being scared is fun, you should delete them for real.

now why would you even think you did that?

I moved the whole folder into a second folder by accident so when I looked to see there the icon for it was, it was gone. And I happened to delete the trash earlier so I almost panicked.
