If I upgrade to professional, will I be able to restore files outside my current version history?

Hi!
Approximately two months ago, I deleted a folder with files dear to me with a thought I will no longer need them. I was mistaken.
On basic account, deleted files are held for 30 days. On professional, 180. My question is - if I upgrade now, after the files are gone, will I get access to the files from two months ago back? Or are they lose forever?

Unfortunately, the files are gone. Upgrading now after files have already been deleted does not grant the ability to recover them beyond 30 days. Only files deleted after you upgrade have 180 days of recovery protection
