Some folders that I deleted do not show up in the deleted files page - how can I restore them?

Some of the folders I deleted tonight are not shown in the deleted files list, and I want to restore a few. They are not showing in events either. Only some of the deleted files and folders are shown...

Hey tyrannicaltimes, sorry to see that you're having this issue.

Since the thread you posted in was pretty old, I created a new thread with your post and let's get right to it!

Were the folders in question personal/non-shared folders or were they shared?

If so, do you see them here perhaps?

Let me know what you find.
