Searching within deleted files
How do I search by file name in deleted files? When I use the search bar it searches not-deleted files, and as far as I can tell all I can do is sort deleted files by date range. I have no clue what ...
- 6 years agoHi there, depending on your plan you could have recovery periods from 30 days to 120 days, and potentially longer if you purchased Extended Version History before the new plans came out.If you use the search bar, the deleted files will appear at the bottom of the list in grey, so you can check those grey files for the one you’re looking for.Hope this info helps!

Hi,
So, I think I remember the whole "greyed out results for deleted files" thing, many months ago... but here it is, Sept 2019 (barely), and I don't see that anymore in my search results.
I know there have been lots of changes in Dropbox over the last few months.
How do I search through deleted files as of Sept. 2019?
Thanks!

Replying to self -- looks like I have to first click on "Files" on the left hand side, and then select "Deleted Files".

Hi Dan_, it's still possible to do so.
While on the files page, you can click 'Show deleted files' on the right to show any deleted files, while still viewing your file structure.
If you just want to see deleted files, then you click the link on the left.
Hope this helps!
