It appears that a user somehow deleted files exactly one month ago. I do not see any of those files in our Trash, and I am concerned that they may already be permanently deleted. How do I restore these ASAP? Please help! Thank you!

Hi ​@ddurough

Welcome to Box Community, and we’ll assist in retrieving your deleted files!

 

As per your enterprise’s trash setting, the deleted files owned by your enterprise will be deleted from trash after 30 days. And once deleted from trash, you only have 14-day grace period to recover this in the backend. 

For us to check, I’m going to submit a support ticket and a member from the Box Product Support team will reach out to you via email. 

 

Thanks for posting, and we will contact you shortly!
