I unsynced a folder and it now appears to have been deleted

Hi,    Some weeks ago I needed to work on my laptop, as opposed to my desktop as usual, but syncing the whole project folder was taking too long and I therefore stopped the syncing of some folder...

Hi Jay, 

 

I right click on the folder I didn't want to sync and ask to stop the syncing. The little arrow next the folder then turned grey (as opposed to blue). 

 

This happened on the 22nd May. 

 

I hope this helps? 

 

Many thanks, 

 

Benedetta

Are you able to restore from there?
