Dropbox Deleted My Files

Dropbox Deleted My Files

Hello,

I don't know what account I have and I haven't been using Dropbox at all but Dropbox was synced to my files on my computer and today I was on my computer and I kept getting notifications that Dropbox was erasing my files. I didn't think much of it until I went to my Desktop and saw that most of my important personal and work files were gone! I have no idea where it went and I need these files back asap. Would appreciate your feedback

I also just realized it wasn't just the desktop files that were deleted but all my pictures, videos, personal and professional work including software has been erased.
