1. Power off the Switch now so they don't accidentally get overwritten.
2. Download Recuva.
3. Have Recuva scan your SD card.

If they were deleted recently and haven't been overwritten, they should be recoverable.

Was the NAND backup made before or after you deleted the screenshots?

I’m not sure but I don’t know how to check

If the NAND backup was from before the photos were deleted, you can do the following:
Make a new NAND backup.

1. Restore the old NAND backup.
2. Recover the photos.
3. Restore the new NAND backup.

If the NAND backup was from after the photos were deleted, there's no easy way to recover them, and they might be unrecoverable.

If you don't want to restore the nand backup, you can use hacdiskmount or ninfs to mount and browse the nand partitions on your computer.

You can restore the nand and then they should come back?
