Accidentally deleted some documents, is there any way to recover them?

Yesterday I deleted some old Dropbox folders locally from my computer but somehow this also deleted my Documents folder from my Mac, which I had not actively uploaded or backed up to Dropbox in 4 yea...

Now the folders are visible on Dropbox but there are no visible files or recovery options that I can see, including back ups, deleted files, or Rewind options.

You've checked both the Deleted Files and Events pages?

    Yeah. Nothing shows up in either of those pages
