I tried to use Dropbox Rewind for a folder, but it throws an internal error.
Hello community,
Seems like I am not the only one. Accidentally deleted a large critical directory (19GB) on my local machine and managed to stop the sync completing fully.

Update... I have just tried the Rewind process again and this time was able to complete the 3-step process. It is now showing the 'working' Dropbox icon with the following message:
"Rewinding to an earlier time.... Everything will soon be just as it was before Sat, 11 Jan at 14:45. Don’t make any changes here until it’s finished."
Encouraging... though have to say I am unsure if this webpage is simply 'hanging' or actually completing the process. My next concern (the primary one) is that is the sync command from my desktop going to reverse this again if it is successful in rewinding and take me back to deleting the files all over again?
My ultimate goal is to halt the sync so that I don't have to complete the accidental delete and sync back to my desktop the files which would end up being a 40GB exercise and about 2-3 days I may never get back.
Although, the length of time I am waiting for Dropbox support, makes me think that this might be the faster option!
