All files show in trash and say they will be permanently deleted on July 6th at 4:51pm (30 days) but when I try to restore I get an error message saying there was a problem restoring the selected item

Hi John, 

Welcome to the Box Community!

May I ask what does the error message says? Also, have you tried to logout/ login from your Box and try this again?

Apologies however, we are unable to support file recovery for our Free Individual plan. You would have to be the one to recover those folders/ files that are still in Trash.

For more information on managing Trash, please take a look at this article: https://support.box.com/hc/en-us/articles/360044196093-Managing-Trash 

Let us know if you have any questions, and we will do our best to help!

Best,
