Photos are moving into the recently deleted folder by themselves - repeatedly

Photos are moving into the recently deleted folder. I recover all. They disappear from that folder just to reappear 1 minute later back into the recently deleted folder. HELP. I ‘Recover all’ but the same thing reoccurs with 29,000+ photos


iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Have you tried a forced restart of the iPad?

Force Re-start iPad

This is different from a simple Power Off. I had to continue holding the button down past the "slide to power off" message, and then I released the button only after  the Apple Logo appeared indicating a re-start.
