How can I recover files I deleted but do not own?

Good day

 

Hope all are well.

 

Need some serious assistance please. I thought I was clearing up some space on my personal dropbox and not the shared space and went on a delete rant. I unfortunately deleted all files. Checked my deleted items and they are not there. Is there any other methods to consider to recover?

 

Sincerely

    Reach out to the owner of the folder They should be able to recover the files.
