    Dropbox seems to be currently having some technical issues as per this thread

     

    In terms of the deletion Dropbox cannot do it on its own - it can only do what somebody tells it to do. But, its possible that you just moved the files to another location? 

     

    www.dropbox.com/events will help

      nothing was moved.  The files seemed to be there but I am informed they will be deleted.  This another the problem to the dropbox webpage is totally unrepsonsive and I can not reach support to deal with this issue,

      Hi Dean,

      You recently deleted 38892 files from your Dropbox account. If you want these files back, you can still restore them until 2024-08-06. After that, they’ll be permanently deleted.

      These are the files you deleted:

        If they are there then they are fine - if you can see at www.dropbox.com/home all is OK. 

         

        Deletion event emails can be caused by a move of files, or, a cut and paste depending upon things. Dont panic as long as they are at that page - once service issues are resolved you can check for sure 🙂
