I accidentally moved a team folder to the Dropbox cache folder

Weird problem. I manage do move a teamcatalogue on my pc to the hidden .dropbox.cache.

It schwooosed there in there with a misclick in just a few seconds.

And now the catalogue is stuck there, i can't move it back (you have no permission).

So my whole team account is no access. when try to open the files i get "this file is outside, just the web to get it"

 

Any clues what to do? i am stuck.

    after hitting my head at the wall multiple times i decided to install dropbox from start. That would solve it but take very long time.

    Ok, this was smooth. I uninstalled Dropbox. And restarted PC. Then all the files was still there. Then i could move the catalogue back to its place. Then installed Dropbox again, and it synced and worked very well.
