Charlie, Why would GIMP retain these images? Just because you have used GIMP to edit them? Images might be in GIMP's recently used list, but if you try to open them from there when you have deleted them from their original location than you will still get an error message.
If you have deleted the images from your computer you might be able to recover them by using some file recovery software. When you are on Windows this software comes to my mind: www.piriform.com/recuva However, each operating system has one or more (free) recovery programs available.
