That isnt how Dropbox works - if they move you to a business account it doesnt 'delete' anything, it creates an account with either the work email OR a folder in the account with all the data.
If there is nothing in Events or Deleted then the account you are using now has no data in it and is not recoverable - as its empty and brand new.
Have you tried just logging in with your old email and password to see what happens via an incognito window?
