I exactly encountered the same issue with dropbox... It denied me having any account and asked me to create a new one which i did.. thinking that it would restore my data but it did not.

Hi alanazim1990
Dropbox support cannot restore deleted accounts. If it was a personal one as soon as its deleted via the website thats instant and permanent. If it was a business one you need to get the Business Admins to do what Hannah has already said.
