Recovering deleted files that were also permanently deleted from my deleted folder.

Recovering deleted files that were also permanently deleted from my deleted folder.

About a week ago or so i deleted lots of my files from dropbox to clear up some space and then i also permanently deleted them from my deleted folder as i did not need these files any more. However one of them i meant to keep but i had accidentally deleted it. I can not remember the name of the file. Is there any way to fully restore every file that has been permanently deleted over the past one or two weeks so that i can find that file. I have a basic free account. Thank you for your help.

Hi @surrey 

 

I'm afraid not - as soon as you permanently delete a file it is exactly that.... permanently deleted.

Hi Mark. Thank you for your quick reply. I thought that might be the case. Oh well. That will teach me to be more careful when deleting files in the future. Thank you anyway for your answer.
