I looked on the deleted list and the folder does not show up on the deleted list, nor do any of its files.
Since it wasn't listed in your Deleted Files, it sounds like it wasn't synced to your account. Is there any reference to the folder or its files on your Events page? If not, then the folder wasn't syncing to your account, so Dropbox wouldn't be able to recover it.

No, it was syncing (I'd had problems with that before, so I knew it wasn't that). BUT oh my goodness, Rich, you're a genius. I didn't know the Events page existed. I just opened Events and it was there -- folder and all files. I'm restoring everything now. A sense of calm is slowly replacing my panic.
Thank you so very much!! Honestly, Rich, thank you!!

Where in the menus I can find this EVENTS folder, if it weren't for this forum it would have never occured to me to type /events

Sorry, I can’t help you. Rich added a hyperlink to his reply that took me to my own Events page. I also tried to find it on my own, but I couldn’t, so I’m still using his link to go there. Events is a history of everything you do while in Dropbox—very cool, but who knew! Maybe send your question to the general forum.

Hi FreddoArgento!
At the moment, there’s no button on the Dropbox website to redirect you to the Events page.
However, you can definitely bookmark the page on your browser for future use.
