        Hi Crazyplantlady666, the Dropbox Vault isn't backed up in the same manner as other features, so if the Vault is deleted, this means that the files are permanently deleted.

         

        I'm sorry I can't be more helpful on this matter.

    Hi there, 

     

    Did you assign a trusted contact with your Dropbox Vault? If so, your trusted contact may still have a copy of your files when he/she downloaded the files on his/her end.  

     

    Hope this helps. 

     

    Thank you.
