Hey Roborg321, thanks for reaching out and sorry to see you're having trouble with this.

 

If your files were deleted from your Dropbox folder and the deletions synced to your account online, you can always restore them from your deleted files page.

 

You can also use your events page to see and restore the deletions.

 

I hope this helps, but let me know if you have any questions!
