I got an email telling me that 16,000 files have been deleted from my account but it looks like all my files are there! What is going on?

Hi everyone,

Pegeen and Dave, could you go to your events page and check that you didn't delete your files?

You can see it here:

https://www.dropbox.com/events

Possibly, you moved around files, deleted some and moved them back to your account.

It's also possible that someone else than you (a member of a shared folder), deleted some files in this shared folder.

Let me know :)
