Hey @Johannessss. Thanks for reaching out about this.

Sorry to hear this didn't work. :slight_frown:

Did you receive an error from the website? Did you not manage to locate the deleted docs?

What happened exactly?

Johannessss

i just deleted a dropbox paper. now its gone... is there a deleted folder?

Fiona

There is a doc tab and a folder tab in your Home page. Follow the steps provided below to restore Paper folders

Click "Folders" in your Dropbox Paper homepage. Restore Paper (edited-Pixlr).png

Then select "Archived". Please note there is no "Deleted" option in the Paper folders options, while docs have this option.

Hope you get your docs restored!

I get lost at step 3, no where on my screen says "Archived" or "Deleted".

Hi @agunn; how are you today?

You're clicking on the 'Viewed recently' first - right?

This is what I get when I click on it:

If you're not seeing this, can you post a screenshot of what you see and/or try another browser to see if it's a browser specific issue?

Keep us posted!
