    If you're on a Basic (free) account, you can only restore files that were deleted within the last 30 days. If the files were deleted on May 7, you wouldn't be able to restore files from that long ago.

    Hi anjar, sorry to hear about that! 

     

    I'm afraid there's no way to recover files outside of your recovery period (30 days on Basic). 

     

    Provided these files were deleted back in May, then there'd be no way to restore them. Can you send me your ticket number reference, in order for me to locate it on my end?

    It's simply not possible. Once you're beyond your recovery period, it's not possible to recover deleted files. They're already permanently deleted.
