hi walter,
thanks for taking the time.
i went to the left side of the task barr in dropbox and deleted a bunch of files on march 28th. i reloaded the deleted files and tried to put a check by the file. on the right side it says "permanently delete". i try to check a box & hit permanently delete, but nothing happens. i tried several different files, but nothing deletes. arrgh! 😞
