Someone got an access to my account and deleted some of my files 3 months ago. I tried recovering it now, but it still wont after purchasing the Dropbox Professional Trial with that said that it can recover up to 120 days. 😞 Can I still retrieve them?

If you've permanently deleted them, then no, there's no way to recover them.

Hi there @BhawnaThakur, thanks for nudging us on the Dropbox Community. I moved your post here where other users have expressed similar concerns. 

 

In general, once a folder or file has been permanently deleted, it can no longer be recovered or restored. Nonetheless, you can have a look around the thread when you get the chance for some additional info. 

 

Also, @anishasukram, I wanted to mention that if you've deleted a folder and you'd like to restore it within your recovery window, you can do so by following these steps

 

Let us know if you have any other questions - cheers!
