I navigated to Dropbox\desktop and deleted that. How to restore?
got Dropbox because it was included with another product. I never took trouble to configure thinking I'll do that when I need it. Somehow it got tied to my Desktop. I did not notice this for some time. Today I downloaded something I needed and wanted to keep on my desktop. That's when I noticed the system wanted to put it on dropbox. Not what I wanted. So in frustration I navigated to Dropbox\desktop and deleted that. Well can you guess? I deleted not jusf the dropbox but my whole desktop. And I do not know how to restore it.

Hey JVP, let's jump right into this!
Have you checked inside your device's recycle bin to check for the folder there?
Other than that, your account's deleted files page, and events page is a good way to start looking for these files.
Let me know what you find!
