Is there a way to restore permanently deleted files?
Hello!
I deleted folder named "перепрограммирование биокомьютера" and than i deleted it from recycle bin.
Can i recover it? Could you recover it for me? Is it somehow possible? Account [personal information removed as per Community's Guidelines]
Hi Dmitriy Mo; welcome to our Community!
I'm afraid that you won't be able to restore any permanently deleted files from your account since, as the relevant article outlines, if you permanently delete a file or folder, you can't recover it later.
If you were referring to your computer's recycle bin though, check your account's deleted files page or even the events page as you might be able to restore the missing folder from there.
I hope this helps!

If a File/Folder has been permanently deleted, or if the file/Folder has been in the Recycle Bin for 120 days in dropbox it cannot be recovered using native options.
When deleting a file or folder, a user has two options. They can either delete from dropbox.com by clicking on an ellipsis (…) next to a file or folder and then choosing Delete. Or, on a desktop or laptop, they can drag and drop an unnecessary folder into the Recycle Bin or Trash. Once deleted if the user navigates to Dropbox Business, and selects the permanently delete checkboxes, file recovery is not possible by native Dropbox options. They are truly gone forever!
I here can suggest an alternative solution on which I am not sure until you have ever store the files on your local machine. If you stored the files on your pc so it may possible to recover data using some free data recovery utility. You can try your luck by using Recuva or Stellar Data Recovery Free Edition to recover lost folder.

Unfortunately, if you've deleted the files from the Deleted Files section, then the files cannot be recovered. They've been deleted permanently.

HELP plz
i accidently deleted permenantly a valuable folder...is there eny chance to restore it?
- HannahDropbox Staff
Hey Agapi1983, thanks for taking the time to post here.
I'm afraid that if your files were permanently deleted, and do not appear in your deleted files, they cannot be recovered through Dropbox.
If this folder also existed on your computer, it might be worth checking if there's a chance to restore it through your OS, or through a third party app, but it can't be restored through Dropbox.
Really sorry I couldn't be of more help.
