Can't Share Files, Copyright

I don't use Dropbox very often. I only recently noticed one of my files had gotten a copyright strike from it, which was preventing me from sharing links with my friends. I removed the file flagged in the email, but my still can't share links with other people. This was first flagged over a year ago, and I only deleted the files about 15 minutes ago. How long is it supposed to take for my sharing to unlock?

    Hi Virtus Tenebrae, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

     

    Did you receive an email regarding the copyright strike specifically for this file?
