Dropbox Rewind restores files, but then files are deleted?

Actually not sure what is deleting them but most my files were missing when I upgraded to Windows 11.  I was able to get them all back using Dropbox Rewind.   But something keeps taking them away? ...

Hi Jay,

It says "you deleted..." on all of them.  I assure you I did not make the same mistake 4 times in a row.  I have completed a rewind and they come back.  I can open them, etc...then they delete again.

Hope things are going smoothly! Just wanted to check if you still need a hand. If all's well, feel free to share what did the trick.
