How can I find a deleted file I want to restore among ones I don't?
In cleaning up my dropbox, I deleted thousands of files, including one that I wanted. Now, when I want to restore that one file, it seems I have to restore all of them first. Is there any way I can see it amongst all those files without having to restore them all? The general search function doesn't reveal what's in that mass of files.

Hey howzend, thanks for joining the Dropbox Community!
You should be able to see a list of the files you deleted and restore only the ones you want, in your deleted files page.
Can you check and let me know if you have any issues?
Thanks!
Thanks, Hannah. It lists a few of the most recently deleted files and then it says "And 5489 more files." Ideally, I would click on that but it's not hyperlinked. My file should be in there but all I can do is restore all the files first.

Hmm, what if you use the filters on the right side of the page, does that help narrow things down?
Thanks for sticking with me. I found another copy of the file so the world is right again. Thanks again.
