Re: My files were deleted. I need a way to recover permanently deleted files.

Hello, how can I recover deleted files if I deleted them even from the deleted files folder?

    You can't. Once a file has been permanently deleted, there's no way to recover it.

    thank you, what if you improve the dropbox plus plan? Will this not make it possible to restore files?

    No. Because the files have been permanently removed. So its exactly that - they have been purged from the Dropbox systems. They are not recoverable I'm afraid. At all.
