A folder shared with me by [removed]
was permanently deleted by (email name).
Immediately it disappeared from my account too.
It is also shared with another paid account.
Is there a way I, [removed] can recover the deleted file.

If your access hasn't been removed then you may be able to rejoin the folder from your Sharing page. Otherwise, no, you'll need to ask the owner to re-invite you to the shared folder.
