How can I recover a deleted folder?

Dropbox StaffHey threegreens, you initially mentioned that you deleted your Pictures folder from your desktop.
Did you copy that folder, inside your Dropbox folder locally on the device, or did you use the website, in order to upload the content that was inside your Pictures folder to your account?
Do you happen to remember your process, by any chance? Did the folder have a green check mark next to it when you deleted it?
I deleted the folder after I had opened Dropbox. Don't forget I never used Dropbox and only started to look into it after I had be inundated with notices that the box was full. As far as I concerned it was irrelevant as I never used Dropbox but to appease "the beast" I decided to look in Dropbox and delete the large Pictures folder. It then stole my master pictures bank.
I thank everybody for the trouble you have to taken resolve the issue and will now commence wading through all my records to find photos and scan them. In the mean time I will uninstall Dropbox and regret ever having used it.
Au revoir
Michael 😴
