Some folders that I deleted do not show up in the deleted files page - how can I restore them?

Some of the folders I deleted tonight are not shown in the deleted files list, and I want to restore a few. They are not showing in events either. Only some of the deleted files and folders are shown...

So its possible that the folders you left were not eligible to rejoin - deleting the files does remove you from the share. 

Ask to be re-added to it OR try and rejoin at www.dropbox.com/share

Thanks. I think you could be right, although it doesn't explain why I can still restore some of the deleted folders (because they are visible in the deleted files list) but not the others.  I'll contact one of the admins and hopefully they can restore the ones I need.  I'll provide an update once I know more.
