Hey @SheetalPatil, thanks for reaching out.

Have you tried looking in your deleted files page in Dropbox or your events page?

Or were the files permanently deleted from Dropbox as well? 

Let me know what you find!

Thanks for updating me on this.

I'm afraid that if the files have been permanently deleted from Dropbox as well, there's no way to recover them, as they are deleted from our servers for good. 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if there's something else I can do for you, let me know.
