Hi @Sewela8513, welcome to the Community and sorry to hear about this.

To elaborate a bit on what @Chris_J mentioned, please note that your account's recovery window for deleted files depends on the plan you are on.

For example, users on the Basic, Plus, or Family plan have 30 days. This extends to 180 days for users on the Professional and the Business plans.

Note that upgrading now to a plan with a larger recovery window, will not help in your case as it won't retrospectively. 

I hope this information helps!

Hello Sewela

Thanks for reaching out here in the Community.

I am afraid there is no way you can retrieve those files.  Sorry but those files are long gone.
