    Hello Thomas_Hayes, thanks for posting your question on the Dropbox Community. 

     

    You can recover deleted files within a specific time period, depending on the account that you have. More specifically, you can restore deleted files within the last:
    • 30 days if you’re on a Dropbox Basic or Plus account. 
    • 180 days if you’re on a Dropbox Professional or Business accounts.

    You can find more info about this in this article. 

     

    Give us a shout if you have any other queries. Cheers!
