Is this a scam

I received an email saying I had deleted 2100 files, but I never intentionally did that. is this a scam?

Hey @Audrey S.4, thanks for posting on our Community!

Is this email coming from an official Dropbox Domain? 

Also, have you checked your deleted files page and the events page to see what might have happened?

Keep me posted!

I checked my deleted files with the Geek Squad Guy and he determined that they were revisions I had done to file which I then saved.  So the old files were deleted by the system.

The number of my files was still the same so I deleted the email.

I don't understand what the Events Page is doing, i.e. what's added is apparent, but what's deleted is a mystery when it's the same file.

Thx

Hi @Audrey S.4, it depends on what type of file you deleted. Certain file types are considered packages, which contain a lot of files inside them, so it's possible this could've been one of those files. 

Also, when a file a saved, depending on the program used, it could simply overwrite the file, or delete the original, and then save the file again, causing this deletion event.
