I deleted a file folder called Sophia Ramirez Reyes.  It is not in my trash. Can you help me to restore it?  thank you.  

I would love if you would have an option for when people accidentally delete a folder that says, "are you sure you want to delete this" and the prompt stays  until someone responds with yes or no.  The 5 seconds to restore are not adequate for me to even recognize that I have deleted the item. thank you for any assistance.

Hi Sheila,

Welcome to the Box Community! I'm happy to help.

If you still can't find your files, then one of the following might be true:

  • Was the folder a shared folder in which you collaborated with others? In this case you’ll need to contact the folder owner and ask to be reinvited.

    • This person will need to re-invite you to the folder using the email address associated with your Box Account.

  • The files in question have been already emptied from the trash.

I have forwarded this request to Product for review - we always value user feedback and hopefully, this will be included in the next Box update. You can also utilize Box Pulse <https://pulse.box.com/forums/909778-help-shape-the-future-of-box> -- our product feedback tool powered by UserVoice.

Best,
