    If you permanently deleted it then its deleted and will no longer be useable.
    Also, unless you explicitly shared it Dropbox will not send it anywhere - or for that matter even know what the image is about.

    Permanently deleted files are deleted, permanently. They cannot be recovered.

    Hey babureddy79 , thanks for reaching out about this. 

     

    You stated that you have already permanently deleted these files and please feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but when this type of deletion occurs, the files and their backups (no matter what version history your account is entitled to) are immediately removed from Dropbox's servers. Note that this can only be done via the web interface on Dropbox.com. 

     

    I hope this helps and I remain at your disposal should you have any other questions!

    As has been said repeatedly once you permanently delete a file its deleted. It cannot be recovered and no, Dropbox, will not put it anywhere else.

    That file is instantly removed. That file is NOT recoverable.
