Hey Magan

Thank you for your response. 

I looked into both links you sent. 

The folder does not appear in the sharing tab.

In the events page there are two separate lines related to the folder. 

The first one, according to date, is a line that says that I added a CSV file (the file that lists the folder that was deleted. 

The second says I removed my own access to this folder. 

 

Clearly, I did not do any of these. I did not add a CSV file and I did not remove access to any folder. 

And how can one remove his own access to a folder?

Hey NAK! Let me jump in here, too. 

Can you send me a screenshot of what you see at your Events page? I’d also like one more visual of what you see here.
