Hi
Can I open a link that have expired/deleted?(over 7 years ago)
Hey @Talorzalach, thanks for posting your question to our Community today.
If the content of a shared link has been deleted, or if the link has expired, it will give you an (404) error message.
If you wish to access that content, you'll need to reach out to the person who originally shared the link with you.
Let me know if you have any questions.

If the link is deleted, there's no way for it to be recovered, I'm afraid.
If they still have access to the files, they can definitely send you a new link, but the original cannot be restored.

No, sorry, you need to ask for whoever shared it to reshare it
