Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
I accidenly deleted a large folder - within the last day. I am trying to recover, but I keep on encountering an error "There was a problem completing this request."
I have seen lots of discussions on the topic, but didn't see if there is a solution.
This folder is quite large.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
I was finally able to restore the folder. I displayed just the deleted files, found the top level folder and restored it. Then, I went to the contents of that folder and restored - subfolder by subfolder.
