I think I deleted my files. How can I restore them?

I think I deleted my files. How can I restore them?

I was clearing up space and I did not know deleting my back up drive would delete all that was on my desktop,  it also gave me old files from long ago that i don't need.  Is there any way i can get the files i had ? Not sure if it deleted or these old files just came back up and my new files are in the drop box or gone ...

Hey @Realratedr, thanks for reaching out to us and sorry to see that your files are missing.

 

Have you tried looking through your deleted files or your events page, to see if you can locate any deletions?

 

If nothing's there, I'd also try your computer's recycle bin.

 

Let me know what you find.
