Delete, edit, and organize
Solve issues with deleting, editing, and organizing files and folders in your Dropbox account with support from the Dropbox Community.
Last week I accidentally deleted a folder that I need for work. When I realized what I'd done, I went to the deleted files page on the dropbox web site, but the folder in question was not there. Is there anyway to track down why a very recently deleted folder would not appear and how I can access it?

Thanks, Walter. I looked at the events page. Some of the missing files are there and when I click on them, it gives me a message that the folder was deleted. However, I do not see the folder or any of the files in my deleted files list. Any other thoughts?

Hello,
I accidentally deleted a file that I need this morning, yet it does not show up in my deleted folder. I would need to recover it, is there anyway to get it back? (It shows up in my activity that it was deleted also)
Thanks

I was able to restore the file from the events page, Thank you!! None of my other previously deleted files (younger than 30 days) show up in my deleted folder either, but this at least solves my issue for now, thank again!
