    How did you delete the account? Was it in a Business Account? If so if it was within 7 days restore it via that

    I deleted my pc user account not my dropbox account but my dropbox account was synced. I think thats why also all my dropbox data got deleted. Also there is t anything in my dropbox deleted folder.

    Oh dear. 

     

    If it hadnt sync'd to Dropbox there isn't a way of recovering via Dropbox - anything on Dropbox will be at www.dropbox.com/home . If it isn't you need to try and speak to a computer specialist to restore via the hard drive.
