Q:"I like to clear my photo album from time to time to delete unnecessary pictures. At the same time, I'm also used to removing all the deleted photos in the "Recently Deleted" album together, which sometimes seems like a bad habit. Taking an example, I lately realized that I have deleted an attractive picture carelessly but it has gone from my iPhone 6 permanently. Even though I have both iTunes and iCloud backup, I don't want to directly restore from them, which appears risky. What should I do?" – Catherine
