- 10 months agoHi Hannah and Mark,
I wanted to let you know that I managed to retrieve the files from the team’s Dropbox. Fortunately, they were willing to return my files, and I now have all 256 GB of data back. Thank you both for your assistance! I truly appreciate the time you dedicated to helping me.
This will be my final message on here until I encounter another issue, though I don’t anticipate that happening anytime soon. Goodbye for now! 🙂

Yeah, around 200 GB of storage space got away after losing the files. Also when I attempt to restore items from the recycle bin (recycled before the files got deleted), I receive an ‘items not found’ error message. I’ve also searched for these items and maps but was unable to locate them.
