Hey Alex Ximea, sorry to jump in here, but have you tried using our Rewind feature to restore this folder back to a previous state?

we tried using the Rewind feature, but unfortunately it also only shows the history of the folder after it was created again. We also looked at rewinding the whole Dropbox, but on the top level the feature is just greyed out.
