I've accidentally removed my personal folder from the team and I can't find it anywhere.

Hello, unfortunately as an admin I have removed access to my *personal* folder in Dropbox. What can I do? The folder can no longer be found. I accidentally pressed the Remove ALL button. Now all my personal data is gone

    Hello. No, I don't see the folder anywhere. Neither in the deleted folder nor on the shared page. 😒

    Hey Frankrichter1982, thanks for the additional info.

    Have you tried searching the account for the folder using the search bar?

    Did you check your "shared" page that Nancy mentioned above?

    Hello. I'm from Germany and unfortunately have to translate it. I didn't delete an important folder. I removed my own access to the folder. We are a team of 4 people. I accidentally pressed the button --> Remove access for everyone. Since then I can't see the folder anymore. Not even as an admin.  see at screenshot
