Hi
I accidently deleted a folder with documents in it. I can't find it in the deleted section - how do I recover this please?
Thank you!
Hi @apotter, sorry for jumping in.
If you’re unable to locate your deleted content here, can you also check your Events page, and let me know if you can see any trace of the deleted folder?
Also, is it possible that you permanently deleted it instead?
Give me a nudge, if you need more help.

I deleted several items today and was unable to view them on the mobile app. I had to log into the desktop dropbox app, using the dropbox icon that is in the task bar in the bottom right of the desktop, then used the icon in the top right that looks like a little globe. that brought up the full app and in the left hand menu bar, there is the deleted items folder. Hope this helps.
