My files were deleted when I uninstalled the app

[protikbruhh]

So the thing is i was syncing my laptop with dropbox. Many files were synced but there were still files left to be synced and it was taking a lot of time. So, i thought of uninstalling and installing dropbox. For this at first, i unlinked my pc and sync was stopped and uninstalled dropbox. While i was uninstalling dropbox, all the files were removed and it was stored in a folder named "my dropbox files" or smth like this i forgot. The question is i guess i lost those files that were left to be synced. What happens in this situations and how to confirm that no files were destoryed? please help me

Hi @protikbruhh, thanks for messaging the Community!

Do you know if you enabled the computer backup feature on your device? 

The folder that was left behind on your computer, are your missing files located in there? 

If the missing files weren’t syncing to your account, then it wouldn’t be possible to recover them from the site. However, it might be possible to recover the files from the local machine from the recycle bin, or using a third party app or service to do so.

If you need any further assistance, please let me know!
