    If they were deleted within the last 30 days then you can recover files from your Deleted Files page. If they were deleted more than 30 days ago then they cannot be recovered.

Okay I need to get editing privileges to restore them. Phew. Where is the link to the Events page in my DropBox?

Hey rewired2change, you can access the events page only by visiting the relevant link that Hannah provided.
