    You need to look at the same place - www.dropbox.com/events or do a search for it on Dropbox and the computer.

Dropbox quota is 2gb unless you have paid account or bonuses. However, a reduction in quota does NOT delete files so that isnt what has removed them. 

 

You can see deleted files at www.dropbox.com/events and recover from there within 30 days of deletion.
