Hey Claudia1, welcome to our Community!
First of all I'd like to say that I'm glad you're still around, and hopefully this all belongs in the past.
As far as the files go, I'm afraid there's not much that we can do. Once a Dropbox account is deleted, then the files in it aren't recoverable.
I wish I had better news here. In any case, feel free to give me a shout if you have any other questions.
Thank you!

Unfortunately, no, there isn't. The recovery period is either 30 days, 180 days, or one year, depending on the plan and options you have. It's not possible for any account to recover files from years ago.
