I deleted a workspace, can I recover files on the account?

Hey-  I accidentally deleted my Dropbox workspace. Is there any way to recover or restore it?  I've logged in with my old credentials and there is no "restore files" (at least that I can find.) ...

It's my business team account. I deleted the Team Workspace. I'm hoping that other team members still have access and would be able to add me back to the workspace.

    Hey why4d, one more question while we're trying to understand what happened here.

    Were you a member of a team, or the team admin? 

    If the latter, then keep in mind that if you deleted the team account, the content that you had there is not restorable. Also the team would have been disbanded, so I don't think old members would be able to help.

    Was it a paid team, or not?

      Hi, Yes, it was a paid team. I don't think I was the admin, but I won't know for sure until 9am E.
