Thanks, tripbargains.

 

Do you perhaps see the folder in your Recycle bin, to recover it from there?

    No it's not in the Recycle bin or Trash either on my PC or on Dropbox. I ran out of ideas before I contacted you!

      Does that mean that you can't find it in your deleted files page on Dropbox?

       

      How about your events page; do you see anything related to it there?

        No zero in the Deleted folder on Dropbox

        On the Events page I see this msg but I cannot open it 

        The computer DESKTOP-22NJ4DQ was linked to your account

        but obviously this is the problem it is not linked somehow

        Dropbox is not linked to my PC is the problem and it is being detected by my PC when I start it. How can I link it again?
