Can't restore a deleted folder. Error: "There was a problem completing this request".

So I deleted a folder, but somehow dropbox deleted the one next to it.

Now I can only find that deleted folder under:

in the browser, its not in the deleted files part of it.
Whenever i double click that folder, and try to restore it it says: There was a problem completing this request.

I never touched this folder, dropbox bugged out and deleted the wrong one, and now i cant seem to restore it. Not in different browsers, not a teammate, nothing.

Why does it also not show up in the deleted files part of dropbox?

    How long ago was it deleted? 

    Also, was it a share? That does alter sometimes where it appears.

      It was just a shared folder between me and my team.

      You need to rejoin the share then via www.dropbox.com/share - you cannot restore via the deleted page :)

      Hey DanielK uhsadfl dsaljfsd, happy new year!

      Do you see the folder in question, when going to the page that Mark linked above?

      If so, do you see a "Join folder" button when hovering over the folder with your mouse?
