Being able to find version history for important Team Folders

It would be good to be able to check directly from the list of Team Folders in All Files to show history for the folders. You can show Activity for a folder, but cannot see the history for the folder...

Yes, I know how to restore and it was the second level support who suggested I leave feedback here. The problem is that it is not very easy to find out by whom and from what device a folder was deleted apart from checking several deleted files to see who deleted them and to what folder they belonged. In the Event log one could also find when a folder was deleted, but say the folder contains 20000 items, then you have to scroll slowly through it all as there is no way to search on the folder name (as the browser only caches like two pages of the log) and there is no name order or hierarchical order. Easiest would be if one could see the history of a deleted folder from the main Team Folder list when clicking on show deleted folders. (But it should also be available in Security, I think) We got it cleared up for ourselves, but only thanks to second level support.
